MJT Net, a provider of Windows automation and scripting services, has released MacroScript Software Development Kit (SDK), which helps developers use Macro Scheduler script language within their own applications to build routines that automate other processes, transfer data or simulate user activity.
In addition, it allows developers to program scripts that run directly within their application without having to shell to a Macro Scheduler script file or executable, the company said.
The company said that the MacroScript SDK offers ActiveX control, or DLL, and integrates with MS Visual Studio, Borland IDEs, or any other language that can load DLLs or use ActiveX components (even VBScript and VBA). The SDK runs on Windows XP, Windows 2000, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista and Windows 7.
Marcus Tettmar, CEO of MJT Net, said: Developers can deliver the advantages of Macro Scheduler to their own customers without requiring that those users install Macro Scheduler. With the SDK, their application accesses the MacroScript variables directly, simplifying the integration between their in-house application and macros.
MacroScript SDK is available in two versions, Tethered – with entry price of $295, requires Macro Scheduler v11 on each PC running the SDK; and Untethered that does not require Macro Scheduler to be installed on each PC, and is priced at $2,495 for an unlimited runtime license for use within one organisation.
