ScriptForge.Platform service

The Platform service provides a collection of properties about the current execution environment and context, such as:

The hardware platform (architecture, CPU count, machine type, etc)
Operating system information (OS type, release, version, etc)
The LibreOffice version
The current user name

All properties of the Platform service are read-only.

Service invocation

Before using the Platform service the ScriptForge library needs to be loaded or imported:

• Basic macros require to load ScriptForge library using the following statement:
GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.loadLibrary("ScriptForge")

• Python scripts require an import from scriptforge module:
from scriptforge import CreateScriptService

The examples below in Basic and Python instantiate the Platform service and access the Architecture property.

In Basic


      GlobalScope.BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary("ScriptForge")
      Dim platform As Variant
      platform = CreateScriptService("Platform")
      MsgBox platform.Architecture

In Python


      from scriptforge import CreateScriptService
      svc = CreateScriptService("Platform")
      bas = CreateScriptService("Basic")
      bas.MsgBox(svc.Architecture)
