Invoking a SilverPlus Stub

A SilverPlus stub is invoked in the same way as any other SilverC program.

The simplest way to run a SilverC program is to run SilverScreen and choose Tools > Execute from the main menu. This will present you with a list of compiled SilverC programs to choose from. Simply find your stub in the list and select it to run your SilverPlus application.

Another way to run a SilverC program is to use SilverScreen's macro system to map a keyboard or mouse event to your program. Suppose you ran your stub from the menu as in the first step, then viewed the command-log with Tools > Command Log. You will notice a command in the log that looks similar to the following:

  execute mystub.ex

If you assign that SilverScreen command to a key macro via Tools > Macro > Edit, then when you press the key your SilverC program will trigger your SilverPlus application.

You may further extend your applications integration with SilverScreen by using a custom ribbon button to execute the command. To edit a ribbon use Tools > Ribbon > Edit or right-click on any ribbon.
