Launch FORM (.efm) using script (.vbs)?

vkhurana Jul 5, 2012 11:29 PM

Hi,

I've a script that invokes when user launches DxDesigner...and I want this script (.vbs) to invoke a form (.efm) - is there a way to do this? If yes, how? The .vbs is identified in scripts.ini and I am checking for something using the .vbs and thus only when the condition is true, I want the form invoked (and not at all times which is why I am not interested in specifying the form in scripts.ini - assuming you can do this since Setup/Settings/Run on Startup lets you do both form & script).

Thanks,
Varun

Hi Varun-san,

If the ExecuteCommand method is used, Form(efm) from Script(vbs) can be started.

Set cmdMgr = dxdApp.CommandsManager
Call cmdMgr.ExecuteCommand("form C:\TEMP\Untitled.efm")

Regards,
Satoru

And how to do that in Drawing Editor or Pcb? I don't find there a CommandsManager Object.

is there a way to run a form from a vbs script too?

//

okay I found the solution:
Application.Gui.ProcessKeyIn ("run ~~.frm")
