You can write Visual Basic for Applications scripts for any picture, toolbar button, schedule, or iFIX object. Using VBA gives you complete control over your process automation solution because it lets you create custom scripts and automate iFIX for your needs.
You can begin writing scripts by displaying the Visual Basic Editor. The VBE provides access to all the available methods, properties, and events for your iFIX objects.
You can display the VBE in many ways, such as by selecting Visual Basic Editor from the WorkSpace menu (Classic view) or on the Home tab, in the WorkSpace group, click Visual Basic Editor (Ribbon view), or right-clicking an object and selecting Edit Script from the pop-up menu, and creating a schedule and clicking VB Editor from the Add Event Entry or Add Timer Entry dialog box.
To learn how to use the VBE, refer to its online Help. To learn how to write scripts for iFIX objects, buttons, pictures, and schedules, refer to the Writing Scripts manual. For information on iFIX methods, properties, and events, refer to the iFIX Automation Interfaces Help file.
