In MS Office products (such as Word or Excel), users can create their own VBA macros in documents and use them to automate commands either within the current application/document, or (through COM automation interfaces) such macros can also automate commands in other applications (e.g. a macro running in a Word document can automate commands in an instance of Excel). Question: did anyone try to build such a macro scripting language into a Delphi application? -- And if so, can they please give any tips?

Microsoft provides a COM active scripting engine which can run JScript and VBScript scripts when the engine is loaded by your own application. In later versions of Windows, this engine is included in the distribution.
