PyXLL PySide2 CTP ActiveX Sep 2024

Back in November 2021, I built an app that allows the selection and presentation of AISC steel properties and the calculation of ASCE wind loads.

Thanks to help from Tony Roberts with PyXLL, I have updated my app and have updated the methods by which it can be invoked.

In my previous post, I presented a single menu using the PySide2 exec function.

In today’s post, I present 3 methods of invoking the app.

1. Custom Task Pane (CTP)
2. PySide2 exec function
3. ActiveX embed (AX)

For Method 1 and Method 2, I have condensed my menu by using tabs. The condensed menu fits nicely in a CTP and fits well as an AX embed.

Here is the new video

Thanks again Tony. Great work.
