v4.0 (Apr 10, 2008)

TMS Scripter Studio

Add the ultimate flexibility and power into your applications with native Pascal or Basic scripting.

Feature overview

Make your applications end-user customizable!

By building scripting support into your applications, you can provide a high degree of configurability, flexibility and automation control in your applications.

  • It allows modification of the application behaviour without needing to update the full application. Just sending a new small script file is sufficient.
  • End users can add totally new functionality to an application by binding application logic with COM servers through scripting.
  • Different end user specific rules can be put in scripts allowing to maintain a single application for different uses
  • And much more ...
Script Studio supports compiled scripts, making time critical script routines even faster.

Feature details

  • Run-time Pascal or Basic language interpreter
  • Cross-language scripter component allows calls to Basic scripts from Pascal scripts and vice-versa
  • Ability to load and run Delphi dfm forms
  • Access any Delphi object in scripts, including properties and methods!
  • Supports try..except and try..finally blocks in script
  • Allows reading/writing of Delphi variables and constants in script
  • Allows access (reading/writing) script variables from Delphi code
  • You can build (from Delphi code) your own classes, with properties and methods, to be used in script
  • Most of Delphi system procedures (conversion, date, formatting, string-manipulation) are already included (IntToStr, FormatDateTime, Copy, Delete, etc.)
  • You can add your own custom functions, using AddFunction method
  • You can save/load compiled code, so you don't need to recompile source code every time you want to execute it
  • Script libraries
  • Thread-safe scripter engine
  • COM support
  • Support for calling DLL functions
  • Debugging capabilities (breakpoint, step into, run to cursor, pause, halt ...)

Import Tool for Scripter Studio

Free import tool that can be used to import your Delphi sources for Scripter Studio. Comes with imported classes for Delphi 5,6,7,2005,2006 and imported TMS Components for Delphi 5,6,7,2005,2006. Use of the Import Tool is explained in the documentation included.

Important notice: Import Tool for Scripter Studio is a free add-on for Scripter Studio. While lots of efforts have been done to cover as much as possible of the Delphi syntax for automatic importing, there is no guarantee that ALL Delphi code can be imported without problems. In case of problems, manual tuning on the code might be required. As the Import Tool was able to import the full Delphi class library, it should cover a high degree of Delphi code.
