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.
• It allows you to create and debug scripts and forms at runtime in an Delphi-like Integrated Development Environment.
• 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 pseudo-compiled scripts, making time critical script routines even faster.

Feature details

• Integrated Development Environment (IDE) allow creating script projects at runtime with multiple cross-language scripts (Basic and Pascal) and forms
• Visual form designer and Object inspector at runtime
• Integrated and automatic debugging system in the IDE, including breakpoints, watch viewer, trace into libraries, etc.

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.
