ACT extension: XML and python
A scripted ACT extension consists at least of:
❑ One XML file
▪ Configures the UI content
▪ Defines the extensions properties
▪ Binds application events to IronPython script functions
▪ Configures behaviors for custom loads and results
❑ One IronPython (.py) script file
▪ Implements the extensions functionality
▪ Event driven: Functions are invoked by application generated
events
▪ Supports access to external libraries
▪ The script file is typically placed in a folder named with the
same name as the XML file
A binary ACT extension is a WBEX file
that user needs to install through
Workbench
