Bartender Through Agilent Vee

Legacy Poster

Hi I’m looking for some help with using bartender through Agilent Vee. I’ve started using the Automation 10.1 trial version (I will need multiple licences once I know it will do what I need it to do) but I’m having problems getting some of the Active X commands to work. I can do basic functions such as open bartender and select files but some of the commands such as printing and saving won’t work for me. Vee comes back with run time errors such as ““print” is not a member of the referenced ActiveX object” even though I have taken it directly from the Bartender ActiveX library in Vee.

 

If anyone could help me out or if anyone had any examples of running Bartender though Vee, I would very much appreciate it.

  Hello Brian,

   

  Thank you very much for your post.

   

  Please can you let us know which code are you using exactly?

   

  Please note that for printing you will need using this structure:

   

  In VB.NET

   

  'Declare a BarTender application
  variable

  
  

  Dim btApp As
  BarTender.Application

  
  

  'Declare a BarTender document variable

  
  

  Dim btFormat As
  BarTender.Format

  
  

  'Create a new instance of BarTender

  
  

  btApp = New BarTender.Application

  
  

  'Open a BarTender document

  
  

  btFormat = btApp.Formats.Open("c:\Format1.btw", False, "")

  
  

  'Print the document

  
  

  btFormat.PrintOut(False, False)

  
  

  'End the BarTender process

  
  

  btApp.Quit(BarTender.BtSaveOptions.btDoNotSaveChanges)

   

  In C#

   

  // Declare a BarTender application variable

  
  

  BarTender.Application btApp;

  
  

  // Declare a BarTender document variable

  
  

  BarTender.Format btFormat;

  
  

  // Create a new instance of BarTender

  
  

  btApp = new
  BarTender.Application();

  
  

  // Open a BarTender document

  
  

  btFormat = btApp.Formats.Open("c:\\Format1.btw", false, "");

  
  

  // Print the document

  
  

  btFormat.PrintOut(false, false);

  
  

  // End the BarTender process

  
  

  btApp.Quit(BarTender.BtSaveOptions.btDoNotSaveChanges);  

   

   

   

  If you want to save the document, then you will need using this structure:

   

  In VB.NET

   

  'Declare a BarTender application
  variable

  
  

  Dim btApp As
  BarTender.Application

  
  

  'Declare a BarTender document variable

  
  

  Dim btFormat As
  BarTender.Format

  
  

  'Create a new instance of BarTender

  
  

  btApp = New BarTender.Application

  
  

  'Open a BarTender document

  
  

  btFormat = btApp.Formats.Open("c:\Format1.btw", False, "")

  
  

  'Save the document out as a different name

  
  

  btFormat.SaveAs("c:\DemoAuto.btw",True)

  
  

  'End the BarTender process

  
  

  btApp.Quit(BarTender.BtSaveOptions.btDoNotSaveChanges)

   

  In C#

   

  // Declare a BarTender application variable

  
  

  BarTender.Application btApp;

  
  

  // Declare a BarTender document variable

  
  

  BarTender.Format btFormat;

  
  

  // Create a new instance of BarTender

  
  

  btApp = new
  BarTender.Application();

  
  

  // Open a BarTender document

  
  

  btFormat = btApp.Formats.Open("c:\\Format1.btw", false, "");

  
  

  // Save the document out as a different name

  
  

  btFormat.SaveAs("c:\\DemoAuto.btw", true);

  
  

  // End the BarTender process

  
  

  btApp.Quit(BarTender.BtSaveOptions.btDoNotSaveChanges);

   

   

  You can find more information in BarTender Help clicking on "Automating BarTender" > "Automation with ActiveX" > "Getting Started"

   

  Many thanks.
