The Script Editor

The HSS and CygNet Studio use the same script editor window. The user interface elements of the Script Editor dialog box is described below.

The Script Editor dialog box

Key	UI Element	Description
1	Script View Buttons	Click any button to change the script view: Toggle on/off Script Editor Event View — Show only the selected event in the window. Object View — Show all code related to the selected object. Full Module View — Show all code related to all objects.
2	Object Drop-Down Menu	Displays a list of objects.
3	Event Drop-Down Menu	Displays a list of events for the selected object.
4	Breakpoint/Bookmark Pane	Shows breakpoints and bookmarks next to lines of code. Left click next to a line of code to toggle a breakpoint or right-click to toggle a bookmark.
5	Code Window	The code editor where you add your script.

The script editor provides auto completion ("IntelliSense"), so that typing a recognized object will cause the object’s properties and methods to appear in a list box. When one of the items is selected, its data type or parameter data types will be displayed as an aid.

The code window distinguishes user code, comments, and keywords with different colors. Comments are green, keywords are blue, literal values are pink, and all other text is black.
