The EccoApp Object

The EccoApp object represents the Ecco application.  The following practices should be followed when using the Visual Basic Ecco toolkit:

• Create one EccoApp object at the start of your program, before you use any other VBEcco objects in your program.
• After you create the EccoApp object, but before it is used, use the Register method with your developer ID.  This confirms that you are licensed to develop applications using the Visual Basic Ecco Toolkit.  Optionally, you can use it to validate whether your user is licensed to use your application.
• Do not create more than one EccoApp object in your program.
• Set your EccoApp object to Nothing before your program exits.  Otherwise, VBECCO.EXE will remain loaded in memory.  Note: multiple applications can use VBECCO.EXE.  VBECCO.EXE will keep track of the number of applications using it, and will automatically exit when the last such application sets its EccoApp object to Nothing.

The EccoApp object contains the following properties and methods for working with the Ecco application:
