BlueZone scripting

BlueZone scripting

BlueZone and BlueZone Web-to-Host offer several powerful tools for automating repetitive tasks, streamlining the user interface, and communicating with external applications. Each tool has its strengths and weaknesses and must be used appropriately. The following topics describe each tool and how to determine its appropriate use.

  • BlueZone recorded scripts
    BlueZone recorded scripts can be recorded in either BlueZone proprietary format, BlueZone Basic, VBScript, or JavaScript.
  • BlueZone Script Host
    BlueZone Script Host is a language-independent host for ActiveX scripting engines on 32-bit Windows platforms. This tool will allow you to run Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) and JScript natively within the base operating system, on Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2012, and will act as a host for other ActiveX-supported scripting languages such as Perl, Rexx, and Python. In addition, BlueZone Scripting Host allows scripts to communicate with BlueZone Display emulation software products. Using the scripting languages you already know, you can write scripts to execute common tasks on a variety of host systems, automate user input, obtain data from host systems, initiate file transfers, and more.
  • BlueZone Basic
    BlueZone Basic is a Visual Basic for Applications VBA and VBScript compatible Basic Scripting Language which can be used to add functionality to the BlueZone family of terminal emulation clients or Web pages to automate complex tasks. Users can also create scripts for launching and manipulating other applications via OLE Automation or external DLLs. BlueZone Basic is a complete programming language.
