Using the Command-Line Interface

This automation method has been superseded by newer technologies and should be used only for testing and backward compatibility.

You can cause some BarTender functions to be performed automatically when BarTender starts by adding command-line parameters to the BarTender command line.

Command-line parameters are most commonly used to run BarTender from within other programs or to change the BarTender start behavior so that it automatically loads an existing document or starts a print job. By using command-line parameters, you can also run BarTender without ever viewing the BarTender user interface.
