| PEM Editor 5.1 -- Beyond the pretty face |
Jim Nelson |
PEM Editor is a full replacement for the Property Window, "New Property," "New Method," its ancestor "Edit Property / Method," and "Document View." (for SCXs and VCXs). It has greatly expanded scope and features -- sorting, filtering, custom coloring, and full support for property editors with additional built-in editors. It uses a consistent user interface, with numerous context menus as appropriate, and comes with a complete CHM help file.
A convenient re-packaging of existing tools is not sufficient, however, to change the habits of VFP'ers long accustomed to the standard tools.
Thus, this talk will focus on those features unique to PEMEditor, including:
* Various listings, including:
o Class parentage of an object
o Method code and parent code, or values and parent values, up through the class hierarchy
o List of PEMs and descriptions as HTML
* When multiple objects are selected, viewing and editing values for a single property -- individually.
* Document TreeView -- a treeview listing of objects and their nondefault methods. Similar to 'Document View', but all dressed up.
* New features relating to the currently selected object
o Auto-rename the object and its children
o Compare the object with its parent class
o Change the parent class (!)
o Copy & Paste properties and method code
o Copy & Paste object - even if its a member of a parent class (!)
o MemberData tools
* Design Time Event Handlers (e.g., using the anchor property while editing)
* Design Time Builders
