Additionally, the editor has different tabs that are vertically arranged down the left side of the window. Each tab consists of an edit area used to insert script code and a band on the left to place breakpoints.
Before you start entering code you have to select the correct sheet. The project script is always opened as the first sheet (tab 1). The window caption of this sheet is Project - Script Code. For example, in this sheet you can implement a field formatting procedure or a script validation method. All public defined functions or methods in this sheet are available in all other sheets.
For each class and for each folder a script sheet is inserted by selecting Show Script from the shortcut menu of a class or a folder class. In these sheets the internal methods of the class can be implemented.
