![]() AnzioWin runs it as if it were a command for it to take action on, either to send it to the host, run it as a command or perform a required function. It is then up to the script module as to what the returned string does. A string argument can be sent to the script module and a command string returned from the script module. These are worth having around if you are to do any scripting for automating Anzio functions.įirst off, AnzioWin interacts with the Script Control engine to start a script (using one of the Windows registered script engines) and runs a single routine at a time. ![]() We also recommend a couple of books that are quite useful when doing non-browser related scripting. You may have to register with Microsoft to download some of these components, but so far they are all free.Īt the Microsoft web site are numerous documents and support pages for the Scripting Technologies Microsoft is providing. This is the ActiveX Control component required to make scripting available to other applications. ![]() Microsoft has developed a free-standing script debugger that you can use with the Microsoft provided script engines from above (I have not tested it with 3rd party script engines). PerlScript.ĭebugging scripts can be painful, since they are edited in something like NotePad and run without a user interface. Included in the package is support for WSH (Windows Script Host), VBScript (Visual Basic Script) and JavaScript.Īdditional third party script engines are available, i.e. This is the script engine and script component available from Microsoft. However, we recommend you download the latest versions from Microsoft.Īll of the needed components can be downloaded from the Microsoft Script Technologies page. At this time, all of these components are free, most are installed by Internet Explorer (version 4 or later), and Windows 2000 ships with some of them in place. There are various components that must be in place for this to all work smoothly, but the functionality is well worth the little effort to install these. Script Control is an easy to install set of script utilities that allow extensive user programming capabilities to AnzioWin. Script Control is an ActiveX control from Microsoft that provides a way of adding scripting to an application. Two other issues to be covered in the scripting field are a) can a script control Anzio and b) can Anzio do more sophisticated scripting (end-user programming if you will)?īoth of these are to be answered in our current release of AnzioWin, using Microsoft's Script Control. This works very similar to host-end scripting and encompasses both macros and keyboard remapping. Likewise, AnzioWin includes a basic macro language that allows you to define a certain key or key combination, to run a small one-line macro. ![]() Both AnzioWin and Anzio Lite have the capabilities of being controlled to some extent from the host by sending commands. ![]()
