- I. "Installation" of example scripts.
- -------------------------------------
- You can "install" the example scripts by choosing "Script | Install/Uninstall
- examples." This loads, and causes to be loaded on start-up, the Script
- Manager. The Script Manager is an example script for setting up and working
- with scripts. It has a default configuration designed to make it easy for
- you to explore the functionality the examples provide.
-
- Once installed, you'll find selected scripts on the "Example scripts" menu.
- Choose "Example scripts | Script directory" to see all the selected examples,
- including those the Script Manager knows of but does not add to the menu.
-
- You can customize the Script Manager and maintain it as a part of your IDE,
- changing the scripts, the menus they are assigned to, their autoload statuses,
- etc. Or you can remove it by choosing "Script | Install/Uninstall examples"
- again. For more information about the Script Manager, see the entry below and
- the file headers for SPPMAN.SPP and its related files.
-
-
- II. Example script descriptions.
- --------------------------------
- The script examples directory contains the following scripts and script
- applets:
-
- SCRIPT MANAGEMENT
- -----------------
- SPPMAN.SPP Script Manager. Allows you to specify scripts for
- autoloading, and add scripts to IDE menus. Provides a script
- directory showing script names, descriptions, and autoload
- and load statuses. The directory window lets you load and
- unload scripts, edit them in the specified editor, and edit
- the Script Manager data file.
-
- LOADLAST.SPP Load Last Script. Loads the last-loaded script. Useful for
- frequently reloading a script under development (before it
- is assigned to a hot key, menu, or some other quick trigger).
-
- TEST.SPP Test harness.
-
-
- EDITING AND CODING
- ------------------
- APIEXP.SPP API Expander. Expands current word in editor to the matching
- Windows API or C RTL signiture. Provides selection list if
- seed string has multiple matches. If the match is an RTL
- member, API Expander indicates if the corresponding header
- file needs to be added to the source file.
-
- CODELIB.SPP Code Library. Displays libraries of code snippets you can
- insert in the current buffer. You can also edit code library
- data files, and create library entries from selected text.
- You can create as many code libraries as you want.
-
- EDONLY.SPP Edit-only. Temporarily shows only those lines in the current
- buffer that contain a specified string. Useful for seeing how
- an identifier is being used, making changes without searching
- and replacing, isolating strings for spell-checking, etc.
-
- SHIFTBLK.SPP Shift Block. Shifts the current block right or left a column
- at a time.
-
- OPENHDR.SPP Open Header. Opens the .h or .hpp file corresponding to the

-
- FINDTABS.SPP Find Tabs. Searches all .C, .H, .CPP, .HPP, and .SPP files

- click a message to edit the referenced file. Useful for
- coding styles that don't use tab characters.
