Automating the Software

Command Line Parameters

You can use the command line parameters to pass advanced commands to   the form designer when 
the application starts.

There are actually two form applications available (two EXE files).   One is form designer, one is 
run-time module that executes the designed   form.

.EXE [file_name] [options]

 

For designer:
The Program_Name is C:\Program Files\EuroPlus\NiceLabel 6\bin\nform6.exe

[file_name]   Represents the full path and name of the form file to open.

[parameter] can be the following:

/off2xff

If you start form designer with this parameter, you can convert the form files
from previous versions of the software (text .OFF file format) to newer version
(XML .XFF file format).

Single file conversion

If the application is run with "filename.off /off2xff" parameters then form
designer will convert file filename.off to the new format with the name file-
name.xff.

Note: If the file filename.xff already exists it will be overwritten without a ques-
tion.

Multiple file conversions

If the application is run with "foldername /off2xff" parameters then form
designer will convert all files with the .off extension in the specified folder fol-
dername to the new format with the .xff extension.

 

For run-time module:
The Program_Name is C:\Program Files\EuroPlus\NiceLabel 6\bin\nform6rt.exe

[file_name]   Represents the full path and name of the form file to start. In this case   the user does not 
see the form design option. He can use the form only.

[parameter] Run-time module   does not have any command-line parameters.
