Standard Parameters Reference

A standard parameter is a constant identifier that will be replaced at the insertion moment with a specific value. This value can reflect current session characteristics, code location information, date and time values etc. For example, using standard parameters, you can define where you want the cursor to be placed, or what piece of text to be selected after the insertion.

A piece of Visual Basic code with Standard Parameters is called a SMART piece of code because it is aware of the place it is inserted in and its parameters are properly modified by CodeSMART in order to reflect the insertion point's attributes.

Each standard parameter consists of a reserved word and an associated meaning. Usually they are grouped in a special popup menu where they can be identified by their names. This popup can be found in all the CodeSMART subsystems that can make use of standard parameters:

Note

Since not all standard parameters are relevant for each of the above subsystems, there are cases in which certain standard parameters popup menu entries are disabled.
