BeforeEdit
Script applications called from this interface are used to perform actions when an editor or development environment is launched. The editor is only opened when the script application is finished (completed, cancelled, or suspended due to timeout).
For example: Upward/downward compatibility issues can be resolved by opening files created with an older version of the editor with this version of the editor.
How to use the scripting interface:
-
An editor or a development environment is started.
-
The scripting interface BeforeEdit is called and the script application is executed.
- The editor is started.
You can also manage multiple projects in a single component
Note
If a component containing multiple projects is opened, BeforeEdit will be triggered before and after the selection dialog is called up. This behavior can be prevented by setting the EnableOldBeforeEditBehavior key to Y in the Common section ofClient.inion the clients or inClientConfigUpdate.inion the server.
