Echoview object
The Command interface interacts with one instance of the <Echoview> object which is the Echoview window.
The command syntax is:
> Echoview | ActionName | Argument
If the <ActionName> is unique to the object then the <ObjectName> (i.e., Echoview in the above example) is redundant.
<Echoview> supports the following <ActionNames>:
- AppliedObjects
- ClearConsole
- ClearHistory
- Exit
- ExportCommands
- ExportCommandsAsVbs
- ExportCommandsAsPython
- ImportCommands
- LastLogMessage
- LicenseContainerDetails
- LicenseContainerNames
- LicenseModules
- Log
- New
- Open
Note: Supplied examples could be adjusted to suit your EV file, variable and virtual names. See also: Example display conventions.
