Delphi Script Extensions Reference

The scripting system supports the Delphi Script language which is very similar to Borland Delphi (TM). The key difference is that, Delphi Script is a typeless or untyped scripting language. You can still declare variables within scripts for readability.

In this section, Delphi Script extensions are outlined with concise information such as File IO routines, Process Specific Routines and Delphi Script enumerated types needed as parameters for some of the routines. The Process Specific Routines are needed if you wish to execute a parametric process in your server.

The Scripting system also supports a subset of Borland Delphi Run Time Library (RTL) and a subset of DXP RTL which are covered in Delphi Script Extensions Reference and in Client API, PCB API, Schematic API and Work Space Manager API references.

A script can execute server processes and thus server processes and parameters are covered in the Process Parameters reference. There are also script forms which host graphical forms and have controls on them. This is covered in the Delphi Script Component Reference section.
