Configuring the Code View Assistant subsystem

The Code View Assistant subsystem can be easily configured in order to meet your preferences.

To configure the Code View Assistant:

1. Click the Code View Assistant button on the Navigation and IDE Tool toolbar or select the same entry in the CodeSMART main menu (quick toolbar and menu references are available). The Code View Assistant dialog box will open with the Availability tab selected.

   

2. On the Availability tab, use the corresponding check box to enable/disable the Code View Assistant subsystem.
3. Click the Features tab in order to specify which Code View Assistant features will be active and edit their options.

   

• Specify if you want end-of-line details to be displayed by checking the corresponding option.
• You may also specify the minimum line count a control statement block should have in order for end-of-line details to be displayed for that block. For example, you may not want to clutter the code view area with end-of-line details for one-line code blocks.
• Specify if you want hotspots to be displayed by checking the corresponding option.
• Use the corresponding check box to make sure that branch lines will be drawn for control statements.
• If you want branch lines to be displayed for a control statement only when clicking on the corresponding hotspot (if this one is displayed), then check the dedicated check box.
• Specify if you want CodeSMART to draw a right hand separator line at a particular column, by using the corresponding controls.
• You may set the color transparency level for hotspots and end-of-line details by using the appropriate control.
• Specify if you want to have the active code line highlighted by checking the corresponding option.
• You may set the highlighting gray level for the active code line background color by using the appropriate control.
4. Click the Fine Tuning tab to configure certain Code View Assistant internal options - these should be generally tuned in favor of system performance.

   

5. If you have a slow machine, you should use the appropriate controls to specify a maximum procedure line count limit over which the Code View Assistant will not process that procedure.
6. Specify if the Code View Assistant state should be refreshed whenever the code is scrolled by using the mouse wheel. Recommended to be enabled.
7. Specify if the Code View Assistant state should be refreshed whenever the code is scrolled through the vertical scroll bar. Recommended to be enabled.
8. Check the appropriate options to specify the keyboard combinations on which the Code View Assistant will refresh its state. May affect code view consistency when disabled.
9. Click OK in order to make changes effective.
