Many tools in Hextor use a scripting engine.

Currently, I use IActiveScript interface of Microsoft JScript library. It may be replaced by something more C++-like in future.

"Script" tab allows to execute arbitrary scripts
In DataStruct analyzer, script expressions can be used to calculate array size and for conditional constructions (if/switch)
Script expression can be used in "Modify with expression"
... much more planned

Program objects are exposed to scripts via [API] attribute. Currently, this objects are available (see sources for additional info):

MainForm (members of this object is available in root namespace)
TEditorForm for every open editor
TEditedData inside every TEditorForm
ds: TDSField - currently shown DataStruct from "Struct" tool tab

(more documentation coming soon)
