        Custom Control CHARGE.OCX

Custom Controls make it easy to integrate credit cards into your Windows applications. You simply add the control to your tool bar and form, set some properties, and invoke the SEND method. The CHARGE control will process the transaction and trigger an event in your application to let you know the transaction is complete. Result properties will let you know whether the transaction has been approved. It's that easy. This approach allows you to spend time adding value to your application and NOT learning the credit card processing business.
