Variable Editor

Press this button in the main window to open the variable editor. The same button is available in all program editing

windows.

The variable editor is a grid tool that enables you to declare all variables of the application.
Variables in the editor are sorted by groups:
- global variables
- variables local to a program.

Please refer to the description of variables in the language reference for a more detailed overview.

Each group is marked with a gray header in the variable list. The "-" or "+" icon on the left of the
group header can be used to expand or collapse the group:

Creating New Variables

Hit INSERT key in the variable editor to create a new variable in the selected group. The variable
is added at the end of the group. Variables are created with a default name. You can rename a new
variable or change its attribute using the variable editing grid.

Variable List - Active Grid

Press this button or hit SPACE bar to enable or disable changes to the active grid.

The variable editor enables you to enter directly each piece of information in the cells of an active
grid. The active grid can be activated or disabled at any moment.
