FinalBuilder allows you to modify FinalBuilder options at runtime using scripting. This makes it possible to specify the path to a third party tool at runtime so that a FinalBuilder project can for example use a different version of a third party tool. Note that these modified settings are not saved and will be lost when you close FinalBuilder, unless you choose Tools -> Options and click OK before closing.
The options objects are accessible using the GetOptionsObject script function. This function takes the name of the options object as a parameter. The name is the same as appears in the Options dialog. For example to access the Delphi options you would use this code (VBScript example) :
dim delphiOptions
set delphiOptions = GetOptionsObject("Borland Delphi")
delphiOptions.D6LibraryPath =delphiOptions.D6LibraryPath & ";$(DELPHI)\Components\Lib"
Listed below are the available properties on the IDE options objects.
