Description

AutoScript provides help when you are coding scripts by completing the statement you are typing or displaying a list of language elements that are appropriate to insert in the script at the cursor location. PowerBuilder 8 provides several enhancements to AutoScript, including the following:

• You can invoke AutoScript only when you need help by pressing a shortcut key
• The AutoScript popup window displays all the language elements that are appropriate in the current context in alphabetical order with an icon to indicate what the element is
• If you have started typing, only elements that begin with the string that you have typed display in the popup window
• If the list has only one item, it is pasted directly into the script
• You can control which language elements display in the list in each of three different contexts
• The list can include PowerScript statement templates (IF, CHOOSE, DO, FOR, and TRY)
