Can the ActiveEvent control be triggered from applications other than Wonderware?

The correct answer is that the ActiveEvent control cannot be triggered from applications other than Wonderware. The ActiveEvent control is specifically designed to work within the Wonderware ecosystem, utilizing its proprietary architecture and functionalities. This means that it relies on the interfaces and integrations provided by Wonderware for full operational capability.

Applications outside of the Wonderware platform do not have the necessary hooks or APIs to trigger the ActiveEvent control, which is tailored to integrate seamlessly with other Wonderware components and their data handling specifications. As a result, reliance on non-Wonderware applications to trigger this control would not yield compatibility or expected functionality.

Understanding this constraint is crucial for anyone working with the ActiveEvent control in a historical data context or real-time event management using the AVEVA Historian Server.
