Script Editor

The Script Editor enables you to write ProcScript and JavaScript that controls the behavior of the component.

The Script Editor contains:

Structure pane—shows the object structure. Use this pane to navigate to objects whose code you want to edit.
Code Editor—enables you to edit ProcScript modules of the selected object.

It is possible to open a second Script Editor so that you can view and edit the code of two modules or two objects at the same time.

Tip: By default, the Code Editor shows line numbers, but this can be disabled, which can improve performance when a code container has a large amount of code. See Configure Indentation and Line Numbering in the Script Editor.
