Welcome to the OptQuest Developer Kit for Crystal Ball Decision Optimizer. You can use the OptQuest Developer Kit to automate and control the setup and running of OptQuest optimizations from within programs written for a variety of Microsoft COM-compatible platforms. This opens up a range of possibilities:
Integrating OptQuest with other software tools
Creating turnkey applications that shield users from program intricacies
Building custom reports or automating post-optimization analysis
Setting up specialized optimization environments
The OptQuest Developer Kit provides a link between OptQuest and your program. It consists of a number of object-oriented development classes that control many aspects of OptQuest. Each copy of Crystal Ball Decision Optimizer comes enabled to use the OptQuest Developer Kit, so that programs you develop today can be run by other users with appropriate licenses.
The OptQuest Developer Kit provides a framework of classes that you can use with OptQuest to perform optimizations. It is a COM (Component Object Model) object, which allows the use of older languages that support ActiveX objects, such as Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6), C++, VBA, and others.
