Adding User-Defined Functions
It is possible to define your own functions to make it easier to work with ASCET add-ons (e.g. version management) and external programs. These are:
- Your own menus in different windows
- An autostart action (executed when ASCET is started)
- A shutdown action (executed when ASCET is shut down)
These are specified in *.ini files which are either stored in a subdirectory of the ASCET installation, ETAS\ASCET<x.y>\Executer (<x.y> being the ASCET version number), or of the data directory, ETASData\ASCET<x.y>\Executer. The Executer subdirectory can in turn contain subdirectories.
Note |
|---|
To keep the content of the Executer subdirectory in case of an update or re-installation of ASCET, you have to place it below the data directory (ETASData\Ascet<n>). |
The *.ini files are only read when ASCET is started, later changes are only effective after a restart. The syntax of these files corresponds to the Windows *.ini format.
Each *.ini file consists of one or more sections whose names are in square brackets. The following sections are available:
[<Section_Name>]
Defines a new menu item. You can select any name you wish, but each name can only occur once in an *.ini file. See also Menu Item Definition.
[AUTOSTART]
Defines the autostart action. See also Defining an Autostart Action.
[SHUTDOWN]
Defines the shutdown action. See also Defining a Shutdown Action.
