Geocode Script Editor

Navigator > Setup > Company > Scripts > Geocode Script Editor

Use the Geocode Script Editor to edit Geocode scripts, such as scripts for the Company.OnMap and Company.OnGeoCode script events.

The Geocode Script Editor includes the Context object, available under the Objects menu, which contains properties for the context in which the script is triggered to return latitude and longitude. The Context object may be documented from the Automated menu, select Automated > Context > Document Context.

Enter MaxBasic code, or the value of an expression property, or select an item from a menu to insert in Code Editor at the pointer position. You can construct statements and expressions. Code Editor in Report Designer is a modal window. The code "belongs" to the band property or the expression being edited.

See also Script Editor and Script Editor Shortcut Keys. To access the Code Editor Context Menu, right-click in the script editor window, or press Shift+F10. You can insert Automated code snippets in the Code Editor, see Automated Snippets.

Sample Geocode Scripts are available in the AccredoDirectory\Scripts\COGeocodeContext directory. You can use these as a starting point for developing Geocode scripts.


Drop down menus
		Operators `(Alt+O)`	Lists MaxBasic operators.

		Functions `(Alt+F)`	Lists the functions available. When you select a function that expects arguments, parentheses and commas for the arguments are shown with the pointer at the first argument, for example, `InStr(\|, )` Help for a function, detailing the arguments, is available from the final option in the menu, or by pressing `F1` or selecting from the context menu (right click) with the cursor positioned in the function name in the editor.
