Overview of Constants

Your custom VBScripts can contain constants that are built natively into VBScript language. These are listed alongside the BarTender-specific constants in the Script Assistant pane. In this reference, you will find only the "Bt" constants documented, which were created specifically for use with BarTender. For more information on any other constant, refer to the VBScript Language Reference available from the Help menu.
