VB Scripting Tab

The VB Scripting tab, located on the BarTender Document Options dialog, enables you to develop your own Visual Basic Script to perform processing, validation, or object updates during printing on a document level. These scripts will run based at the time of the event selected. To enable Visual Basic Scripting in BarTender, select the Use VB Scripting option. When this option is enabled, you can select from the following events to modify:

• Functions and Subs. Not really an event, this item is a collection of Visual Basic Script functions and subroutines (that you write) which can be used by the scripts that you create for genuine events, listed below.

• OnOpen. The code will execute when the document is opened.

• OnSave. The code will execute when the document is saved.

• OnClose. The code will execute when the document is closed.

• OnPrintJobStart. The code will execute at the start of a print job.

• OnNewRecord. The code will execute after BarTender reads a new database record during a print job.

• OnSerialize. The code will execute when an item is serialized during printing.

• OnIdenticalCopies. The code will execute for every printed item, even if it is an identical copy.

• OnPrintJobEnd. The code will execute at the completion of a print job.

• OnPrintJobCancel. The code will execute when a print job is cancelled before it is completed.

To begin coding with Visual Basic Script, select the Edit button to open the Script Assistant.
