Create point from mimic script

[IvanDeMarco97]

Hello all,

I would like to create an internal analog point through a script called from a mimic button.

What is the function to use?

Thanks!

Ivan

You can't directly, need to create a COM object for the Automation interface and use that. There's an example at https://www.se.com/au/en/faqs/FA280488/

Depending on the point type and the user permissions we have successfully created objects using an INSERT SQL query via vbscript. 

The user executing the command probably needs to have the "Edit SQL" check box enabled in their user. 

Something like: 

' other script stuff that comes before the creation
' this example for creating a template instance

sql = "INSERT INTO CTEMPLATEINSTANCE (Name, ParentGroupId) VALUES ('instanceName', templateId)"

Set query = Server.Query(sql)

' Error handling and all that
' Updating point configuration with comm settings and such
