Editing Application Components as Text in Developer Studio

Topics:

Developer Studio provides a fully integrated text editor that you can use to create, view, and edit the source code for procedures, procedure components, Master and Access files, and other types of files required by your applications. The text editor enables you to use familiar Windows editing techniques, such as cut, copy, paste, undo/redo, and drag-and-drop.

In addition, you can:

  • Take advantage of color-coded syntax designed to make writing, editing, and debugging procedures easier.
  • Bookmark lines of a file for quick editing and easy reference.
  • Find and replace text.
  • Run procedures or procedure components directly from the Editor.

Within applications, you can open and edit multiple procedure components in separate Editor windows. You can also open a supplementary text editing window called the Other component in order to type fragments of code (such as, Dialogue Manager syntax) or text (such as comments) that you may wish to incorporate into a procedure.
