I am beginner Javascript programmer. I am currently designing a website to be run on our local computer and I want to use bartender 9 automation in it. Can you please teach me how i can use bartender's activeX within Javascript? Loading the file, editing the information, printing and closing it. Thank you for you help in advance.

  Hi,
  As long as you run Javascript on Windows PC which has BarTender installed, it's technically possible to use JScript (Microsoft's Javascript) to run BarTender ActiveX by ActiveXObject, which goes like this [url="http://seagullscientific.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/39-sample-code-activex-automation-via-vb-script/"]VBScript version[/url].
  
  However this won't work for web project as this way you cannot effectively handle simultaneous print request, and would be very slow.
  Please try [b]Commander [/b]instead, using Commander Script Trigger(or BarTender XML Script trigger if you have Enterprise Automation Ed.)
  
  See [url="http://s3.amazonaws.com/SeagullBarTender/ftp/WhitePapers/WhitePaper_Commander_English.pdf"]Commander White Paper[/url] and [url="http://s3.amazonaws.com/SeagullBarTender/ftp/WhitePapers/WhitePaper_CommanderExamples_English.pdf"]Commander Examples[/url] White Paper.
  
  Enterprise Automation edition's Commander goes very well with Web project, as it has flexibility of BarTender XML command and better performance from assign multiple BarTender process to a Task - such as, Single XML Script trigger file can contain multiple print command to print a chain of different formats in specific order. You can run many BarTender processes to fully utilize many core CPU, and Commander gives XML triggers to each BarTender processes by round-robin manner to handle bulk requests.
