Writing Scripts
The Writing Scripts manual is intended for system integrators, OEMs, and process control engineers responsible for customizing their iFIX® software automation solution using Visual Basic for Applications. The manual assumes that you are familiar with Microsoft Windows and the Visual Basic programming language.
The first few sections of the book provide some background on Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), but the intent of this manual is to describe the implementation of VBA within iFIX, not to explain how to program in Visual Basic.
If you are new to the Visual Basic language, you may want to consult one of several sources of information on the basics of VB programming, which are beyond the scope of this book. If you are a novice VB programmer, check out the Getting Started with iFIX and VBA chapter to learn where to find information on general VB programming topics.
