NetLinx Studio - Instruction Manual
This option causes the program to draw vertical lines indicating the tab stops in the Editor
window (default = enabled). Note that indentation guides only appear if there are tabs
present in the code.
This option enables the Call Tips function. Call Tips assist you with adding declared
functions by displaying a list of parameters that are valid for the particular function you are
adding.
This option allows you to "fold-up" each section of code in the Editor window (default =
enabled). With this option enabled, a gray bar is displayed in the Editor window, between
the Line Numbers (if that option is enabled) and the actual code.
Use the Code-Fold Margin, Code-Fold Plus and Code-Fold Minus options in the Syntax
Highlighting section to customize the color settings for code-folding (select Axcess/
NetLinx Source as the Document Type).
Note: Additionally, you can expand or collapse all fold levels in the active file via the
Expand All Folded Levels and Collapse All Folded Levels commands in the Edit menu.
This option allows these special character sets to be displayed in the Editor windows.
Note: You must close and re-open all files in order for this option to take effect.
Select to automatically trim off any blanks at the ends of the lines.
Select to save bookmark information with the file.
Select to highlight matching sets of braces in the Editor windows.
Use this option to specify the size (in number of characters) of the tab stops in the Editor
window (default = 8). Each line contains a number of tab stops placed at regular intervals
(for example, every 8 characters). When you press the tab key, the cursor or insertion
point jumps to the next tab stop. Changing this value changes the interval of the tab stops.
This value sets the number of space characters to be inserted by auto-indentation (default
= 4).
This option causes the program to automatically indent lines that occur after an indented
line. When indenting, text is prepended the amount of spacing specified in the Indent with
X Characters field (see above).
Print all text as black on a white background.
Print all text using the same colors displayed in the Editor window, on a white background.
This is the same as "Print Color on White", except that light colors are automatically be
inverted for better readability on a white background.
You can have a maximum of 30 clip-board buffer items (default = 20).
You can set the maximum display width to up to 80 characters (default = 50).
Clears all the clipboard text items from the list.
