The OnScriptCommand event is the entry point for an internal command added by a script add-in. The actual name of the event is defined by the script itself, when the command is added via the ScriptInitData.AddCommand method - OnScriptCommand is merely a placeholder name.

Method Name: OnScriptCommand

Argument Type:

ScriptCommandData 

Return Type:

bool or int

Description:

When a script add-in adds a new internal command using ScriptInitData.AddCommand, it specifies the name of its entry point with the ScriptCommand.method property. When the internal command is run, Opus will call that method within your script.

The ScriptCommandData.func property provides information about the command environment (including any parsed arguments), and the cmdline property provides the raw command line that invoked your command.

The return value from this function indicates to Opus whether your function was successful or not and whether it should be called again for the next selected file. If successful, the return code should indicate the number of files consumed by the function - normally this would be 1 which would mean you would be called separately for each file.

Return valueMeaning
-1Function was successful. All files will be deselected.
1Function was successful. First file will be deselected, and your function will be called again for the next file.
TrueFunction failed. Files will remain selected.
FalseSame as returning -1.
