To edit or create a script using Visual Studio for modal editing:
- With a form open and in Design Mode, from the menu, select .
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.
- Edit the script code.
We recommend that you build the script. Visual Studio provides a convenient environment for identifying and correcting errors. Windows client itself does not use the build.
- Save the script.
- Minimize or close the Visual Studio IDE.
- Optionally, in the Editing Script in Visual Studio dialog box, you can:
- Perform test compilations of the script: Click Compile, and then observe the Compile Status message, which indicates whether the compilation was successful.
- Reopen or restore the Visual Studio IDE to fix compilation errors: Click VS IDE.
- Start a debugging session to test script functionality with Windows client.
- To preserve the script in a cache and close the dialog box, click OK.
Note: If the Compile source on OK check box is selected and compilation fails, the dialog box remains open and Compile Status shows a failure message. You can fix the compilation errors and click OK again, or you can clear the check box and click OK to preserve the script, including any faulty code.
