How to Change the GraphicForm and Spider Script Editor IDE to VS Code

Hi,

I would like to know how I can change the Script IDE from the Built-in to Visual Studio Code, I try to change using some other topic instructions but change the IDE of script agents not from graphic form or spider.
I also check it in Profile configuration but even with the VS Code installed it does not appear there to be used.

There is some procedure how to do that?

Thanks

I would recommend the use of Visual Studio Community edition instead, since it also allows for debugging of your scripts.

It is technically possible to use the registry editor to change the ScriptEditor property in the Adroit registry section to make use of any editor, including VS Code, but VS Code won’t provide for certain debugging and other functions also includes in Visual Studio Community edition.

Hi Frits,

We would like to use VS Code for better script viewing, as we’re unable to use VS Community in our company. Is there a way to set up VS Code as the default script editor for graphic form script and spider script? We’re looking for guidance on how to configure this, as we haven’t found a solution yet.

When using Visual Studio Professional, there is an option in the Adroit Profile for selecting the default editor, but we couldn’t find a similar setting when using VS Code. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Douglas

At this point there is no integrated solution for Visual Studio Code. There is a fundamental difference in the way references are managed in a project in Visual Studio Code. At the moment therefore, we only support the Visual Studio Enterprise, Professional and Community editions.

As a workaround, you could continue using the built in script editor and copy/paste your code into VS Code, but this is still very limited compared to the other Visual Studio editions where full editing and debugging is supported.
