Royalty Free Basic Scripting
VBA Compatible - Cross Platform
Cypress Enable - Basic Scripting for Applications is a Visual Basic for Applications VBA
and VBScript compatible Basic Scripting Language designed to be embedded in software applications.
With Enable developers can add scripting language functionality to their
applications or Web pages to automate complex tasks. Users can also create scripts
for launching and manipulating other applications via OLE Automation or
external DLL's. Enable is a complete programming language and is available
under Microsoft Windows® 9x, NT®/2000 and XP
- Call for information on Mac, UNIX and Windows CE.
Cypress Enable - Basic Scripting for Applications ships

and Script tips ( VBA style syntax assistance), Dialog Editor, and

Why Basic?
User Acceptance
Microsoft has publicly committed itself to including VBA
into all of the products included in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel,
Access, Mail, PowerPoint, etc.) . In addition Microsoft released VBA
and VBScript. VBA is extremely expensive and is expected to take at
least two man months to integrate into your application. VBScript is a
mini version of VBA with flow of control, one variable type and little
else (cannot call DLL's, no support for integer and double data types,
does not support dialogs or forms of any kind, and embedding is difficult).
If this is all you need this may be a
free option for you. However, if you need full VBA power and you
need it now in a supported product, Cypress Enable is not only the most widely used VBA
engine available but it is royalty free and priced to sell to
a large audience. Cypress Enable also supports the
VBScript interface exactly so that customers who are using
VBScript can upgrade with no source code changes.
Language Description
Cypress Enable supports a substantial subset
of Visual Basic for Applications. Please contact us directly with any
questions you may have and for a free whitepaper that outlines the Enable
API and the Enable Basic Language functions. In addition Enable supports
Microsoft Word Dynamic Dialogs, Full OLE support, fully interacts with Dynamic HTML
forms, and has a powerful API,
that is easy to learn and easy to integrate. Through the Enable API you
can share variables, objects, and functions with your application.
Enable scripts can get and set properties and call methods or objects in your
application. Callbacks can be registered so that your application
can respond to compile and runtime events such as undefined
variables, functions and data types. In addition Enable has the
ability to save and load compiled scripts, supports UNICODE,
and can handle huge scripts. All with a footprint of
about 400k
Extending Enable
End-users can call functions that are embedded in DLL's or in the calling EXE.
These functions must first be declared using the hidden but standard
Declare Statement syntax. By building up a string containing the declare
statements and appending it prior to executing the user's script,
these functions will appear to be built into the Enable language and
can be used on demand by your end users. New functions and subroutines
can be added or redirected at runtime though Enable's powerful API.
Ten great reasons to include Cypress Enable -- Basic Scripting for Applications in your product.
Why Basic Scripting
1. Would you like to be able to customize your application without changing the underlying code? Would some of your end users like to add functionality to your application? This and much more is possible by adding Cypress Enable Basic Scripting for Applications to your application.
Using the VBA standard for scripting
2. Because Cypress Enable - Basic Scripting for Applications is syntax compatible with Visual Basic Script and Visual Basic for Applications, when you use Enable you won't be asking your customers to learn another proprietary scripting language. If you are currently using VBScript but need more power and flexibility Cypress Enable offers all of this and your customers won't have to learn anything new. In addition if you are already using VBSript or if you need a VBScript editor just drop Enable in without any source code changes and have a better more powerful VBA compatible language in place of VBSript. Or use the Enable editor to edit Enable Scripts or VBScript scripts.
Easy to Learn - Easy to Use
3. Cypress Enable has a powerful well designed API that provides all the power and functionality you want and need. With fewer than five dozen API calls to learn our users are running and writing scripts within their own applications in hours. The extreme power and flexibility of this API can not be over emphasized! Or if you prefer the ActiveX Scripting Interface is available as well.
No Traps
4. We are committed to providing the same functionality to your application as Visual Basic for Applications provides to Microsoft applications. With this in mind we have added no extra function calls or extensions to our language. Our scripts can even be written in VB first, then run with Enable. The Cypress Enable language Engine supports a substantial subset of Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications. Because Enable supports the VBScript interface you can upgrade from VBScript with no source code changes and start taking advantage of our powerful API and full VBA power right away. In addition because we are completely syntax compatible with VBA you can always move from Enable to Microsoft's VBA and your scripts will still run.
No Nonsense Royalty Free Licensing
