Program Tips and Tricks

• Drag program elements from the toolbar on the right into your program

• You can lookup variable names, members, methods, etc by using the Ctrl-L key in all expression fields (and also by using the var lookup control) -- saves the typing and ensures you spell it correctly.

• Expressions containing variable names will automatically update if you rename the variable -- go ahead and find the prefect name!

• Add a StopStep guy inside loops and you can use the Step button to control the iteration of those loops!

• Use Stop button first to stop -- if it doesn't work, then do Abort -- Stop breaks at a more "natural" place in the processing flow, so your network etc will not be in some weird intermediate state.

• There are also tooltips at the bottom of the browser window for many things -- they don't always show up floating in yellow.

• Add copious documentation in the desc fields -- not only will it make your Program more accessible to others, you will REALLY appreciate it 3 months from now!

• Pay attention to the console output -- often important details and messages will show up there!

• Mark modifications of standard programs using the "Set Non Std" context menu option -- they will show up in yellow and indicate what you've changed.
