Global Routines are the Procedures and Functions from the scripting system. All Components descend from the TComponent system class in the Embarcadero Delphi Visual Component Library (VCL). ComponentsĬomponents are visual objects from the Tool Palette panel that can be manipulated at design time. Methods are the actions the Object (which the interface is associated with) can perform.

Properties represent the data contained in the Object that the Interface is associated with. An Interface represents an existing Object, and each Interface has a GUID that marks it unique.

Object InterfacesĪn Object Interface consists of methods, and in many cases properties, but cannot have data fields. All Objects descend (and inherit) from the top-level object of the TObject type. Properties represent the data contained in the object, Methods are the actions the object can perform, and Events are conditions the Object can react to. In DelphiScript, an Object consists of methods, and in many cases, properties, and events. This page and its accompanying sub-pages contain reference material on interfaces, components, global routines, types, and variables that make up the DelphiScript scripting language. See Differences between DelphiScript and Delphi for details on the differences between Delphi and DelphiScript. Variables can still be declared within scripts for readability. The key difference is that DelphiScript is a typeless or untyped scripting language, which means you cannot define records or classes and pass pointers as parameters to functions. The scripting system supports the DelphiScript language, which is very similar to Embarcadero Delphi™. This DelphiScript reference assumes that you are familiar with basic programming concepts as well as the basic operation of Altium Designer.

Differences between DelphiScript and Delphi.

These are special procedures that are used to control and communicate directly with Altium Designer. This section describes the DelphiScript language used by the Altium Designer Scripting Engine and provides reference details of the statements, functions, and extensions that are supported.
