M-Files Intellisense

KageDev

Hi,

I have been coding in M-Files for about 1.5 years now. I have always wondered why scripting within M-Files admin does not have intellisense. Working on an Excel VBA project and bringing M-Files api into that reminded me of how much easier coding would be in M-Files admin if Intellisense was in it. With Intellisense in Excel VBA I don't even need to reference the API, but when I'm coding in M-Files scripting I need to have the API open on a different screen and follow along with the documentation as I am coding.

Are there any feature requests for this?

  • Hi,

    I would highly recommend to switch to VAF framework which is based on .NET framework and C#. There you can debug your solution, you would have intelisense in Visual Studio, you can build it etc. Api is one-to-one to that one of VBscript so you will be able to start fast and port your code. There is good documentation in developer portal.

    We started also with VBscript but thing got more complex over the time so we needed more flexibility in development.

    Best,

    Dejan

    Thank you. I think I will start doing this. Visual Studio is usually where I do all of my development and intellisense makes development a lot easier without having to reference documentation.
