VbScript Editor With Intellisense

• Download ScriptEditor.zip - 349.9 KB

Introduction

Intellisense in scripting languages like vbscript is like a dream for script programmers. This goal of this project is to provide vbscript editor with intellisense like it was available in most of Microsoft language editor. The control uses the type library refrence to explore the public methods and function exposed in any com library. The script developer has to code like vb 6.0 language (Dim pConnection as ADODB.Connection) and the editor will automatically convert the code into vbscript.

The complete vbscript alone with added references can be saved as xml file. The Script property of control will return the pure vbscript which can be executed using the Microsoft Script Control.

Background

How to run the code :

Open the group project and press F5 vbScriptEditor_Group.vbg

If the project says missing Edanmo's OLE Interface…. Then add reference to olelib.tlb in TypeLib folder

Converting Vb 6.0 Syntax to vbscript

Dim pConnection 'As ADODB.Connection 
Dim pRecordset 'As ADODB.Recordset 
Set pConnection = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") 
pConnection.Open("Query String Here","User ID","Password") 
Set pRecordset = pConnection.Open("SQL Query Here") 
MsgBox(pRecordset.RecordCount) 

Developer continues to code like in vb 6.0 and the editor automatically convert the syntax to vbscript.

For example developer code

Dim pConnection As ADODB.Connection 

And the editor will convert it to (It will automaticaly insert ' before As)

Dim pConnection 'As ADODB.Connection 

Which is equivalent to

Dim pConnection in vbScript

The Script Property will return the pure vbscript.

ScriptRTF will return the coloured vbscript

XMLProject will return the added refrences in form of XML
