VBScript overview

VBScript is a simple, standard and flexible scripting language that allows you to implement logics and algorithms within your project.

AVEVA Edge implements and hosts Visual Basic Scripting Edition 5.5 or higher, so you can take advantage of every feature provided by this language, such as:

• Syntax, operators and functions.

• The ability to create new variables and procedures (functions and/or sub-routines).

• Access to properties, methods and/or events from COM objects, including ActiveX controls.

• The ability to execute the logics in any platform that supports VBScript.

  Note: If you are not sure the system image that is loaded on your Windows Embedded device supports VBScript, please consult the device manufacturer. They must enable support for VBScript when they create the system image.

This documentation provides an overview of the VBScript feature implementation. It is also useful as a quick reference for the most used features of the language. For a full description of the language as well as its interfaces and functions, please consult Microsoft. (At the time of this writing, the VBScript documentation could be accessed directly at the Microsoft Developer Network. This is an external link that was correct at the time of publication.)
