Code Window
The Code Window is used the edit the code in your program.
- You can put all your code in a single block, or have a separate code block for each form as well as a global section. At runtime, they are treated as a single block, so be careful not to redefine functions or variables.
- Code can be in JavaScript, BASIC or PHP, depending on the setting in New Project, Form or Code Module properties.
Features
Editing
- In BASIC, statements can be made longer than one line by using a space and a “_” character at the end of a line.
- Syntax checking is done as each BASIC line is completed. If there is a syntax error, the line gets a red underline. If you hover over it, you can see the full error message.
- Cut, Paste, Delete and other similar functions can be used from the Menu, the Toolbar or the keyboard.
- Line numbers may be up to 99999.
Moving Around
- The dropdown bar at the top of the screen can be used to go directly to a Sub, Function or line number.
- Code Folding makes it easier to look at just the code you are interested in. Click on the minus sign to the left of a code block to collapse it.
- To go directly to a function in your program, select the name of the function elsewhere in your code, right click and select "Go to function definition."
Translation
If you are working in a language other than JavaScript, you may view the translation of the code. Do a right click and select "View JavaScript". You can do this for the whole module or just a selection.
Inserting Code
To insert code from an external file, drag and drop the file from the Finder into the Code Window. The code will be inserted into your app at the current position, just as if you had typed it in. You can insert code from .txt, .cod, .bas or .js files.
