COM script to change a school detection setting
Special features
With Echoview COM automation, control can come from a script, web page or other program and interaction between the script, the user and Echoview is possible.
- A subset of COM objects emulate all the commands of automated export scripting.
-
- Other COM objects give you access to further Echoview features, EV file settings and raw variable property settings.
The advantages of COM object scripting are:
- The COM object can query Echoview as it runs. This allows you to make informed decisions.
- Operations can be easily performed on multiple objects, or an entire collection.
- Commands are executed serially.
- The object is immediately informed of the failure of a procedure call. This makes it easier to find the source of a failed export or an unexpected result.
- Echoview does not have to initialize and terminate for each script. This has the potential to make small scripts run faster.
- It is easy to extend to support new functionality.
