The expressions

 

What are expressions?

Expressions are instructions you tell an object on the card to execute. Expressions in eMedia Card Designer work like formulas do in your favorite spreadsheet. As eMedia Card Designer uses the same function names and features than Microsoft™ Excel™ or Microsoft™ Visual Basic for Applications™, you may build complex formulas as you do in your worksheets.

Entering expressions

To create an expression in design mode that would be calculated while printing your card:

  1. Create a text object or a barcode object.

  2. Set the "Source" property to "Expression".

  3. Enter your formula in the "Data" property.

A wizard is also provided, giving you all the help available about the functions you may use in your expressions. An online help is also available into the software.

Other features

There are two other ways to extend the capabilities of eMedia Card Designer: plug-ins and COM features. Depending on your development skills and on your needs, you may explore these ways:

You have some development skills, able to create simple applications using Microsoft™ Visual Basic™ or Microsoft™ Visual C++™?
Learn how plug-ins may help you.

You are an integrator, wanting to include eMedia Card Designer in your own solution?
Learn how COM features may help you.

All these ways may help you to obtain really intelligent cards, or to use eMedia Card Designer as a card printing tool inside of your own solution.
