Command: ScriptStart

Valid names: ScriptStart, VBSStart

Starts a VBS or Python script.

Input Parameters

FileDlgName	Specifies a file. You also can specify the path and the filename extension. String variable Note  If you do not specify a path in the FileDlgName variable, DIAdem loads the file from the SCRIPT user folder or saves the file in the SCRIPT user folder. If you do not enter a filename extension, DIAdem determines the filename extension from the variable FileDlgFilt.
[VBSProcName]	Specifies the name of a subroutine. By default the VBSProcName variable contains an empty text. For Python scripts, the command ignores this parameter. String variable Maximum 255 characters
[AutoObjLetOpen]	For future extensions.

Note  When the ScriptStart command is called, DIAdem also executes the main section of the subscript and initializes the variables. The command then runs the specified subroutine.

Note  When the ScriptStart command is called, you cannot debug the routines, transfer parameters, or access the script variables. You can use only DIAdem variables or user variables to transfer values. Therefore, use the ScriptInclude command instead. If you use the ScriptInclude command instead of the ScriptStart command, you can speed up scripts.

Note  Use the ScriptInclude command instead of the ScriptStart command when you extend scripts. The following table describes the various application options. Call ScriptInclude only once at the beginning of a script. Do not call the ScriptInclude command in loops. ScriptStart ScriptInclude     X When you use transfer parameters   X When you use return values   X When you debug calls in another script   X When you use name spaces   X When you use objects and variables from another script X   When you start a script as program parameter X   When you specify menus, buttons, and other controls to start a script X   When you call scripts via OLE X   When you cancel the started script or local error for this script
