Accessing The Options Settings Via Scripting

Automise allows you to modify Automise options at runtime using scripting. This makes it possible to specify the path to a third party tool at runtime so that a Automise project can for example use a different version of a third party tool.

The options objects are accessible using the GetOptionsObject script function. This function takes the name of the options object as a parameter. The name is the same as appears in the Options dialog. For example to access the Delphi options you would use this code (VBScript example):

dim delphiOptions
set delphiOptions = GetOptionsObject("Embarcadero Delphi")
delphiOptions.D6LibraryPath = delphiOptions.D6LibraryPath & ";\$(DELPHI)\Components\Lib"
