VB Script.

[bgm]

I have used vb6 in athe past and now have .net.

My question is?? Is there anywhere i can fine examples of MasterCam's vbscript. I'm having trouble with the correct format i need to use when coding.

Welcome to the forum

 

In your Mastercam directory, there are some samples in X:Mcam9VB. Also, plenty of code has been posted to this forum so the search feature will be helpful.

 

A template for a script would be this:

 

code:

---

' global variables and constatns can go here

 

Call Main() ' call the main function, it's the entry point

 

' Purpose: The main subroutine. It's the script's entry point

Sub Main()

' code goes here

End Sub

 

' other functions and subs could go here

And keep in mind that VBS is not strongly typed; there aren't any actual data types. That's not entirely true, though, since EVERYTHING is of type variant. So in VB:

 

code:

---

Dim iX As Integer

Dim strName As String

 

iX = 12

strName = "Chris"

---

Would be this in VBS:

 

code:

---

Dim iX

Dim strName

 

iX = 12

strName = "Chris"
