Editor Scripts

Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

Editor scripts help you to perform frequent tasks more quickly in the X++ code editor. For example, there are scripts to create templates for certain types of code constructs and methods, to convert lines of code into comments.

To use a script, click the Script button in the X++ code editor. You can also access the script menu by right-clicking in the X++ code editor, and then pointing to Scripts.

For example, to create an if … else statement:

  • Click the Scripts button, and then click template > flow > ifElse.

This creates the following block of code:

if()
{

}
else
{

}

To learn how to create an editor script, see How to: Add a Script to the Code Editor.
