Using Visual Studio for interactive (modeless) editing

To edit or create a script using Visual Studio for modeless editing:

  1. With a form open and in Design Mode, from the Edit menu, select Script Editor.

    If a form script is not defined for the current form, the editor opens a template for a script. Otherwise, the editor opens the form script for the form. The solution name is EditWinStudioScript. The class name is ScriptClass.VB.

  2. Edit the script code.

    We recommend that you build the script. Visual Studio provides a convenient environment for identifying and correcting errors. WinStudio itself does not use the build.

  3. Save the script.
  4. Minimize or close the Visual Studio IDE.

    As long as the modeless dialog is up, you can get back to this Visual Studio session, even if you close the IDE.

  5. Optionally, in the Editing Script in Visual Studio dialog box, start a debugging session to test script functionality with Windows client.
  6. Save the script.
