 Warning
From version 24 (75), Programing charter is kept for backward compatibility. This function has been replaced with Code style.
A set of programming guidelines automatically prefixes the names of all variables and project elements (window, control of an report, class, etc.).. This automatic prefixing allows you to easily identify and/or find an element of a given type. In the following example, the type of the controls used can be easily identified: Remark: You can also find out the type of an element via the tooltip displayed when the element is hovered by the mouse cursor: Enabling the automatic prefixing To enable the automatic prefixing: - Open the project description: on the "Project" tab, in the "Project" group, click "Description".
- Display the "Options" tab.
- Check "Automatically prefix the variables and the elements found in the project".
- Choose the code style to use. The "Standard" style (provided with WINDEV, WEBDEV or WINDEV Mobile) is used by default.
- Check "Add prefixes automatically" if you want prefixes to be added automatically. In this case, prefixes will be automatically used in the different editors if a code style has been defined. Therefore, when writing code, the prefix that corresponds to the type of variable will be automatically added before the name of the variable.
- Check "Throw a UI compilation error if a control has the wrong prefix" to throw a UI error if controls do not use the prefix defined in the code style.
- Validate. When creating new elements or new variables, the corresponding prefixing will be automatically added.
Remarks: - Another solution to enable the automatic prefixing: on the "Project" tab, in the "Other actions" group, expand "Code style" and select "Use code style".
- When creating a new project, only automatic prefixing on project elements is activated by Default. Prefixes are not added automatically (especially in WLanguage code).
- The names of variables containing less than 3 characters are not prefixed.
Dsabling the automatic prefixing To disable the automatic prefixing, use one of the following methods: - on the "Project" tab, in the "Other actions" group, expand "Code style" and uncheck "Use code style".
- in the "Options" tab of the project description, uncheck "Automatically prefix the variables and the elements found in the project".
Reminder: To open the project description, go to the "Project" tab, "Project" group and click "Description". Create a code style To create a code style: - Open the project description: on the "Project" tab, in the "Project" group, click "Description".
- Display the "Options" tab.
- Click "Create a code style" and validate the window that appears.
- Select the location of the new code style and enter its name (".CDP" file).
- Validate ("Save" button). The new code style is created.
By default, this style is the "Standard" style (provided with WINDEV, WEBDEV or WINDEV Mobile). - Click the "Edit" button.
- Define the different prefixes and validate.
Remark: The "Standard" code style cannot be modified. Modifying a code style To modify a code style: - Open the project description: on the "Project" tab, in the "Project" group, click "Description".
- Display the "Options" tab.
- Select the code style to modify.
- Click "Edit code style".
- Define the new prefixes and validate.
Remarks: - These modifications will be taken into account when creating new elements or new variables.
- The "Standard" code style cannot be modified.
- Another solution to edit the current code style: on the "Project" tab, in the "Other actions" group, expand "Code style" and select "Edit code style".
Modifying the code style used To modify the code style used: - Open the project description: on the "Project" tab, in the "Project" group, click "Description".
- Display the "Options" tab.
- Select the code style to use (in the "Code style" list or via the "..." button).
- Validate.
Remark: The same code style (".CDP" file) can be used in several WINDEV, WEBDEV and WINDEV Mobile projects. Managing prefixes In the code style, you can: - automatically add prefixes in the different editors when a code style has been defined.
- generate a UI compilation error if a control has the wrong prefix.
To manage prefixes: - Open the project description: on the "Project" tab, in the "Project" group, click "Description".
- Display the "Options" tab.
- To add prefixes automatically, select "Add prefixes automatically".
- To generate a UI error if an invalid prefix is used, select "Throw a UI compilation error if a control has the wrong prefix".
- Validate.
