Stand-alone, the component can be used to convert keyboard scan codes into password text strings through a dedicated UI and cut-and-paste into the tool or code being used to modify BIOS settings. The control also provides an interactive mode of operation, in which the control can be invoked through an automation interface within a calling script or management application. The following code fragment demonstrates invoking the control from within a management script.
