Program Explorer
Basically, the Program Explorer window contains bookmarks for the currently displayed file. You can jump to a source code location by double clicking a bookmark. The Program Explorer window is currently only available for wcCode files. Bookmarks are automatically set for: #includes, declarations, constants, global variables, global types, functions and subroutines. You can also add custom bookmarks, which will be placed under the Bookmarks folder, by starting a source code line with "//! [bm] bookmark name" You can also use the insert bookmark command from the Insert menu.
Right click in the Program Explorer window to invoke the popup menu displayed in the screen shot above.The popup menu items that are enabled depend on what is currently selected in the code editor window.
| Menu Item | Action/Explanation |
| Jump | If an include file is selected then this menu item enabled; and if selected will cause the Code Editor to jump to the #include bookmark. Note: you can define the default of double clicking an include item in the App Setup dialog. |
| Open File | If an include file is selected then this menu item enabled; and if selected will cause the selected #include file to be loaded into a new Code Editor window. This is a quick way to view a wcCode header file. |
| Show Tool Tips | Toggle this menu item to turn tool tips on and off. If Show Tool Tips is checked, then tips will be displayed for each item in the Program Explorer window that has a string longer than what fits in the window. |
| Refresh List | Selecting this menu item reparses the code for all automatic bookmarks and updates the list. Note: the Program Explorer bookmark list is not automatically updated as you type source code. It is only updated when a file is loaded, saved or this menu item is selected. |
Double click on "Program" in the Program Explorer to invoke the Program Information dialog.
The program information dialog is a simple and easy way to update comments about your source code. Just click the Add button to add a history note. When you click OK the comments between //-#@ PROGRAM INFO BEGIN @#- and //-#@ PROGRAM INFO END @#- will be updated with the information from the dialog. If the //-#@ markers do not exists, then the source comments will be place at the beginning of your source code. It is not recommended that you edit the comments between the program info markers.
NOTE:
Previous versions of WildEdit save the program info in .wci files. You
can now delete these files, because WildEdit no longer uses them. WildEdit now
parses the comments for the program information, between the program info markers.
This also means that you can use the program info with wch and wcc files.
