ATL-Interface - Overview

The EbsScript ATL-Interface enables a coupling between EbsScript and a user-created dialog (as DLL):

• the dialog can be activated from EbsScript whereby certain parameters can be specified to the dialog
• the dialog can contain all possible types of operating elements (input fields, drop-down lists, calendar, buttons, etc.)
• from the dialog, a function can be called in the EbsScript ("Callback-Function"), which can have up to 30 parameters
• after executing the callback-function, the dialog is continued, whereby again 30 parameters can be read
• after closing the dialog, EbsScript is extended by the line, in which the dialog was called
• the dialog can be implemented with the help of Visual C++ or Visual Basic (as DLL)

For using the interface, a type library ebs2000i.tlb is needed, which is placed in the installation directory during the installation.

The following pages describe, how such a DLL can be created by using the Microsoft Developer Studio (Version 6).
