I am finding myself to be getting relatively good at creating programs but am quite baffled when it comes to writing script/code. In the past I programmed in basic when i was quite young and not long ago I was not bad a HTML, so I figure I can learn to use pc-dmis script/code. Is there a book or guide to learn how it works?
PC-DMIS automation or scripting uses a subset of the BASIC language. In the Basic Script editor (accessed from
View | Basic Script Editor), if that editor has the focus, you can press F1 to get a help file (pcdbasic.chm) containing the PC-DMIS BASIC language (the subset of the BASIC language that PC-DMIS uses--termed "Cypress Enable"). In addition, in that help, there's also an additional help merged into that called the PC-DMIS Object Library (automationobjects.chm) that tells you what objects, methods, properties, and events you can use.
I recommend reading through that Getting Started section. It has some sample automation scripts that may help you get started as well. In addition, the users in this subforum are helpful if you need an idea on how to get started with a specific scripting idea.
