Opening Window Files

Window files and programs can be opened from a VIP or WorkStation Manager ToolBar or from a button on a custom graphical screen. The disadvantage these techniques is that the file must be predefined. Neither method provides for populating the file name dynamically at run time.

From within VIP, TbredComm can be used to open and execute external Window files such as image files, Word documents, Excel spread sheets, etc. Any file that can be opened or launched from the Windows Run dialog (Start button, Run) can be executed from within TbredComm.

For more information, please see the TbredComm manual Opening External Window Files.
