Visual studio Code with a version greater than "^1.29.1"

It provides syntax highlight for Programmable Macro Language.

Supported File Types: .pmlfrm, .pmlmac, .pmlfnc, .pmlobj, .pmldat, .pmlcmd and .mac

• Starting with version 0.2.0, Go to symbol functionality was added for pml files.

  It can be triggered by one of two ways:

  • First Way:

    • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + shift + o
    • macOS : Cmd + shift + o

  • Second Way:

    • Windows/Linux: Ctrl + P, and typing @
    • macOS : Cmd + P, and typing @

• Starting with version 0.2.0, Outline View display for methods in the current opened file.

Enable the support for tab-completion in Visual Studio code by setting:

"editor.tabCompletion": "on".

Then just type a snippet prefix, and press Tab to insert a snippet. Pressing tab again will move the cursor to different predefined areas.

As of this release it has the following snippets defined:

• pmlform : Creates the basic scaffolding for a new pml form.
• pmlformg: Creates the basic scaffolding for a new pml form with a grid. This will also add the following methods out of the box, besides the constructor:
  • rightClickGrid : Defines right click trigger functionality;
  • removeAll : Removes all grid Contents;
  • removeSelected : Removes Selected rows from Grid;
  • exportToExcel : Exports grid contents to .xls file;
  • initializeEmptyGrid : Initialize an empty grid & set up the columns;
  • appendToGrid(rows) : Add an array of rows to the grid.
• pmlfunc : Creates the basic scaffolding for a new pml function.
• pmlmet : Creates the basic scaffolding for a new pml method.
• pmlobj : Creates the basic scaffolding for a new pml object.

Less significant snippets like:

• pmlbut : Creates the basic code for adding a new button on a plm form.
• using namespace : Suggests the most commonly used namespaces

• PML Uglify will encrypt the pml file using a trivial encryption (for testing purposes).

Important Known issue: This "encryption" type does not support utf-8 files. If you use any non-ASCII characters in the script this will result in an error and/or will produce unwanted/unpredictable results!

• Basic code completion logic added
