Running Scripts

You can specify that a script be executed during application startup (typically, adding or updating menus or toolbars), run it from the command line (using the “run” command, or you can bind it to a toolbar button, menu command or key-binding. You can also create forms with active elements (for example, a button) that call subroutines within the forms, scripts, batch files, or executables.

After you've assigned a script to a toolbar, menu or form element, running the script is as simple as clicking that toolbar button, menu item, key-binding, or form element.

Note:

Throughout this document, a script is defined as a code sequence which can be executed. A form is defined as a custom dialog box created by the user, or on the user’s behalf, with which the user interacts. The graphical elements (for example, buttons) in the dialog box have script subroutines associated with them to execute specific tasks.

Included in your application installation are samples of scripts and forms that you can test with Xpedition Designer.
