Visual Basic Script

Open topic with navigation

The Visual Basic Script data source type is used for advanced applications, such as when you need to produce final data for a text or barcode object by processing data from one or a combination of the other data sources in a way that is not otherwise possible. Even when scripted functionality is needed, it is often easier to select one of the other data source types and use the "VBScript" transform instead.

The Visual Basic Script-specific options on the Data Source tab of the Data Sources property page include:

• Script Type: Specifies the type of Visual Basic Script to use. Depending on your needs and technical expertise, three different levels of Visual Basic Script are available. For more information, refer to Using VBScript as a Data Source Type.

• Expression/Script: Displays the VBScript for BarTender to run. For single line expressions, this section will be titled Expression; for multi-line scripts, Script.

• Edit with Script Editor: Opens the Script Editor, which enables you to write, store, and execute VBScripts.
