Configure Studio - Editor
Show CodeSense Lists After a Character is Typed
Check this option to ensure that the CodeSense lists are always displayed automatically when typing a symbol name. Un-checking this item means that in most cases CodeSense lists are not displayed automatically; typing Ctrl+Space will of course still display the list.
Always Open Files in the Editor by Default (Not the Designer)
Check this option to change the way that the Studio opens files in the Visual Designer.
- When this option is checked, files are always opened in the Editor.
- When this option is unchecked, files containing objects that can be visually modeled are opened in the Visual Designer; other files are opened in the Editor.
Note: Files containing data dictionary classes that can be modeled in the Data Dictionary Modeler are not influenced by this configuration option.
Show Find Wrapped Message
When this option is checked, the Editor will display a message when a Find or a Find Next operation reaches the end of the edit buffer. Likewise, a message is displayed when a Find Previous operation reaches the beginning of the edit buffer. The message will ask if you wish to wrap to the top/bottom of the edit buffer and continue searching.
When this option is unchecked, the find operations will wrap without displaying any message.
Save Source Files as OEM
Check this option to change the way the Studio treats encoding for known file types.
- When this option is checked, files that do not use UTF-8 encoding will be assumed to use OEM encoding (used in DataFlex 19.x and older).
- When this option is unchecked, files will be converted to UTF-8 encoding when necessary.
Note: If you use custom or third-party file types for DataFlex source, you should add those types in Configure Studio | File Extensions. Otherwise, the speed of Search (and Replace) in Files can be degraded because of unnecessary encoding conversions.
