More information about Python Scripting.

Select a script in the Scripts box and press Edit, or double-click the script name. The script editor is shown with the current contents of the script.

Each script being edited is given a tabbed page on its own in the modeless editor. Pressing Cancel will abandon the current script; pressing Apply will register the script with the Python engine, but keeping the editor open. Close will first apply, then close the editor tab. Run will first apply, then actually run the script. If the script needs parameters, you will be prompted to give them manually.

The … all buttons will handle all open scripts.

In case of syntax errors, you will not be allowed to close the editor, and both the Apply and Close buttons will inform you of the error, letting you re-edit it:

Note also in this example how the scripts are auto-generated:

• The page Calendar has an event called KeyDown – the generated script is called Handle_Calendar_Keydown. This script is then executed when the event is signaled. See Script details for more information.
• The parameters are the ones from the event, with type information given as comments. In this case the first parameter is of type VT_PTR, which is a generic pointer that is unfortunately not handled by ActiveXContainerX. Parameter two is a two-byte integer, passed by value.

We have done our best to decode the Python error log, and find that in most cases, we pinpoint the error correctly. However, there might be cases we do not handle correctly, so please refer to the Python log if in doubt.
