If you are in the Designer view of the Application Solution Explorer, click on the Script icon to display the Script view your application.

The ribbon menu (menu bar) for the script view displays.

To show line numbers in your scripting window, click on Configuration > Application Preferences > Scripting Defaults, and check the "Show Line Numbers" box. This setting can also be used to change the font type, font size and tab width. You can globally change your scripting colors from the Scripting Colors section also in Application Preferences.

Save - option saves the current script to the solution database.

Designer - returns you to the application designer view.

Syntax - performs a syntax check of the script.

Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy and Paste. The Comment and Un-Comment options allow quick removal or addition of code blocks.

The Find and Replace icons allow the user to find or replace text within the current application or all applications and macros at the same time.

References icon  allows non-globally loaded Scripting Modules to be associated to the application. This requires the setup of the specific file under the Scripting Modules Tree and the file’s Load Module should be set to “When Referenced.”

(See the Scripting Modules – Load Modules tree for more details.) Check those modules you wish to include with the current application. Modules designated Win32.bas and RFgen.bas are automatically included for each application.

Shortcut Keys

The Scripting windows also provide some keyboard shortcuts that may make moving around in the environment easier. Ctrl + A will highlight all the text in the window. Ctrl + G will request a line number and then move the focus to that location. Ctrl + Spacebar will pop up a search window for language extensions, embedded procedure parameters and other similar uses.

For additional functions, right-click on the background of your script Window.
