Making Views Applications Scriptable
To use Script in a Views application, you have to make this application scriptable. The interpreter of Script for Views is implemented as C++ libraries. Therefore, if you want to use a Views application with Script for Views, you have to:
*Include the appropriate header file in the source files of your application, as described in Including the Header File.
*Link your application using the supplied Script for Views libraries, as described in Linking with Script for Views Libraries.
Note: You can also generate Views scriptable applications from the extension of Views Studio that lets you write Views applications in Script. For more information, refer to the Views Studio User’s Manual.
Including the Header File
Include the following header file in the main source file of your application:
#include <ilviews/jvscript/script.h>
You need to include this file only once. You do not have to include it in each one of the source files of your application.
Linking with Script for Views Libraries
In addition to the Views libraries, you must link your application with the following Script for Views libraries:
On Microsoft Windows
*ilvjs.lib
*iljs.lib
*iljsgide.lib
On UNIX
*libilvjs
*libiljs
*libiljsgide
