PB 2022 R3 IDE using the Script Commenter!

         The STD Script Commenter is a significant enhancement to the way a PB developer works productivity wise by easily allowing code comments to be added to any object class in the current object painter's PowerScipt or declaration areas! The Script Commenter is based on the original commenter application by R.C. Sizer but has been totally refactored to work much more efficiently with the STD Framework. The latest release includes the following new features ...

• Migrated the App code from PB2022 R3 build 3289 to PB2022 R3 build 3356
  
• Tested on W10 version 22H2 build 19045.4412
• Tested on W11 version 23H2 build 22631.3593

Mapping the Script Commenter in the PB 2022 R3 IDE

    The latest Script Commenter is designed to work with any Unicode version of PowerBuilder (v10.x through 2022 R3). It can be activated in the PB IDE by creating a toolbar short-cut icon and assigning to the Commenter's EXE as follows:

app path\ScriptCommenterXXX.exe  header
  - or -
app path\ScriptCommenterXXX.exe  block
  - or -
app path\ScriptCommenterXXX.exe  inline

• where XXX = Compiled type 32M or32P
  

Watch the video  (Version 2023 R2 which the same functionality as 2024R2!)

   The values added as a header, in-line or block comment area are located in the "Comment_Block.ini" file. This INI file can customized based on the values found in the "Comment_Template.ini" file to meet the exact needs of each PowerBuilder developer!
