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.
In BASIC, statements can be made longer than one line by using a space and a “_” character at the end of a line. JavaScript statements can simply continue to the next 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.
The dropdown bar at the top of the screen can be used to go directly to a Sub, Function or line number.
If you are working in a language other than JavaScript, you 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.
Line numbers works up to 99999 lines per module.
Code can be in JavaScript or BASIC, depending on the setting in New Project, Form or Code Module properties.
