Visual Basic for Applications
Microsoft Visual Basic® for Applications (VBA) is a development
technology for rapidly customizing desktop applications, like Legi,
and integrating them with existing data and systems. VBA offers an
extensive set of programming tools based on the Microsoft Visual
Basic development system.
Visual Basic for Applications provides an integrated development
environment (IDE) that features the same development facilities as
Visual Basic, including a Project Window, a Properties Window, and
debugging tools. VBA also includes support for visually creating
custom forms and dialog boxes to build custom user interfaces.
Integrated directly into Legi, VBA offers performance and usability
improvements over Application designer and Batch Print Control.
Integration of the software components for label printing and user
interface handling offers the fastest processing. Clients access to the
VBA development environment directly from Legi allows them to
purchase and install one software product they can use to create,
maintain, and implement a custom label printing solution.
Legi 3.3.0 implements a Microsoft OLE Automation Server based on
Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM) architecture. Through
Automation, Legi for Windows exposes some common internal
functions through COM objects. Software applications can invoke
tasks for label printing, which are normally selected interactively from
the Legi user interface.
Legi 3.3.0 uses a dual-interface in its OLE Automation Server
implementation. One method is best suited for Microsoft Visual Basic
and other clients that support Microsoft ActiveX automation. The
other method is best suited for higher performance clients like
Microsoft Visual C++ and non-Microsoft clients that support COM
technology.
Customers can design and implement their own label printing
solutions, using Legi for label creation, maintenance, and printing
tasks. This allows customers to focus on their own user interface and
data resolution rule sets. In addition, existing software systems can
implement functionality for label printing by modifying those systems
to access Legi’s printing functions.
