**COMPATIBILITY( **//mode//** )**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **COMPATIBILITY** | Specifies OLE control compatibility setting. |
| //mode// | An integer constant for the compatibility setting. |

The **COMPATIBILITY** attribute (PROP:COMPATIBILITY, write-only) specifies a compatibility mode for certain OLE or .OCX objects that require it. The //mode// should in general be zero (0), however some OLE objects (like Windows bitmap editor) do not work unless it is set to one (1).

**Example:**

**WinOne WINDOW,AT(0,0,200,200)**

**        OLE,AT(10,10,160,100),USE(?OLEObject),CREATE('Excel.Sheet.5'),****COMPATIBILITY****(0)**

**        END**
