Forms Expert - ScriptEZ

Have you tried to do some VBscripting in detail forms? Its not too hard, right? Perhaps the most frustrating part is checking out the script, making the edit and then checking in again. With ScriptEZ, this becomes a breeze, with check in and check out a button press directly in the development environment. Add automated look up of category, connection and field names, as well as  pre-built commands, and ScriptEZ will save hours in  your Commence development.

ScriptEZ - VBScripting editor for Commence

ScriptEZ simplifies the creation, check IN and OUT of VBScripts for Commence Detail Forms.

It includes a simple text script editor with colour coded VB syntax and a very powerful Commence database structure browsing facility that can create perfect syntax script statements based on selected category and field names. The generated script statement can be inserted directly into the built in editor or pasted to any other destination you may require (Copy/Paste).

The ScriptEZ statement generator handles all of the standard Commence functions, VBScript statements and properties, API Cursor and Rowset functions, DDE conversation statements (RM and RM2.1 only) and Microsoft VB functions and Statements.

The editor has the standard cut/copy/paste functions, 'auto indent' (that can be turned on or off as required) and a standard 'find / find-replace' function. ScriptEZ can rebuild property structure code, indenting layout.

Its major benefit is the simplicity of checking OUT/IN VBScripts and simple, clear database structure browsing to create syntax perfect statements. By clicking on  the "ScriptEZ" button, you get a paned window showing the categories, fields and connections. Then you can click on a category, to lookup its field name and connections. Select a field or connection and you get a series or pre-built commands - for forms scripting or using the api. No more script errors due to incorrect spelling of field names or incorrect character case.

The editor supports a simple 'Time Stamping' feature to identify the version of a Script. It has a 'Copyright Stamp' that can insert any predefined string wherever required.

Scripts can be saved/loaded as text files with a file name extension of .VBS. This simplifies the transfer of a standard script from one system to another. A 'Clips' feature keep a simple library of useful 'scriptlets' for insertion into any Script under development. There are a selection of sample scripts.

Syntax checking of the script under development is as simple as a button press. You do not need to wait for Commence to alert you to an error in your script; ScriptEZ will tell you what the error is and put the editor's cursor at the point of error.
