Automated Snippets

You can insert automated code Snippets into the code editor by:

typing a variable name followed by the Snippet Shortcut Key.
typing an object name followed by the Snippet Shortcut Key.
clicking the Automated menu at the top of the code editors, then selecting an option.

The Snippet Shortcut key is set up in the Preferences - General tab. The default Snippet Shortcut key is #.

When you insert an automated snippet at the start of a line, the entire code snippet will be inserted, otherwise only the automation name will be inserted.

For example, type:

ARCustomerData#

The following will be inserted:

Dim datARCustomer as Object

datARCustomer = CreateObject("Accredo.ARCustomerData")

Variable Names

The following conventions are used for naming objects in the auto snippets:

Tables and custom tables	tbl & FileName, such as `tblARCust.`
Data Objects	dat & ObjectName, such as `datCBBankingItems`.
Form Objects	frm & ObjectName, such as `frmINInvoiceEntry`.

Object Documentation

With the cursor in an object name, press F1 to display the automated documentation for the object.
