I had several requests on how to setup Ultraedit / UEStudio for MapBasic. This
is some of the stuff Peter Horsbøll Møller and I have filed through the years:
Setup for Ultraedit or UEStudio for MapBasic use:
*1*.
Create two text files and save them to two batch files called:
Compile_MapBasic.bat and Link_MapBasic.bat.
*2*.
Enter in the Compile_MapBasic.bat file:
@Echo off
"C:\Program Files\MapInfo\mapbasic 4.5\Mapbasic.Exe" -NOSPLASH -D ""%1.mb""
if exist ""%1.err"" type ""%1.err""
Adjust the path.
*3*.
Enter in the Link_MapBasic.bat:
@Echo off
"C:\Program Files\MapInfo\mapbasic 4.5\Mapbasic.Exe" -NOSPLASH -L ""%1.mbp""
if exist ""%1.err"" type ""%1.err""
Adjust the path.
*4*.
Make two entries in the Tool Configuration under the menu: Advanced > Tool
Configuration.
*5*.
Insert a new tool.
Enter in the command line:
"D:\Dev\UltraEdit_setup\Batch\Compile450.bat" "%p%n"
Adjust the path.
Set the Menu Item Name to
Compile MapBasic 4.5
Activate the following items:
-Save all files first
-Save Active files
-Output to List Box
*6*.
The command line for linking a project is:
"D:\Dev\UltraEdit_setup\Batch\Link450.bat" "%rp%rn"
*7*.
Set the shortcut for compiling to ctrl+k and linking to ctrl+l.
This in done en menu Advanced > Configuration > Tab sheet Key Mapping
Select AdvancedUserTool1 fom the list and Assign the shortcut to ctrl k
Do the some for AdvancedUserTool2 iwth ctrl l
*8*.
Create a new txt file called wordlist and add the text:
/L12 "MapBasic" Line Comment = ' File Extensions = MB DEF MBP WOR MNU LNG STR
/Delimiters = [EMAIL PROTECTED]&*()-+=|\/{}[]:;"'<> , .?
/Function String = "^{%Function^}^{%Sub^}"
/Member String = "^([A-Za-z0-9_:.]+^)[ ^t*&]+$S[ ^t]++[(=;]"
/Variable String = "^([A-Za-z0-9_:.]+^)[ ^t*&]+$S[ ^t]++[(=;]"
/Indent Strings = "Then" "If" "Else" "ElseIf" "Case" "Function" "Sub" "For"
"Do" "While"
/Unindent Strings = "End If" "End Sub" "End Function" "End Case" "Next" "Loop"
"NoSelect"
/Open Brace Strings = "{" "(" "["
/Close Brace Strings = "}" ")" "]"
/Open Fold Strings = "Sub " "Function "
/Close Fold Strings = "End Sub" "End Function"

add more your self by pasting from the MapBasic.def fil.
*10*
Add the autocomplete.txt for code completion:
In menu Advanced > Configuration > tabsheet Edit.
Set the field Auto Complete File to point to the autocomplete.txt file.
With ctrl+space you can now have code completion (not intelligent but
alphabetich)
*11*
Have the 'Trim trailing spaces on file save' on in the Menu Advanced >
Configuration > General,
else an 'exit sub' might be taken for a 'sub' when using the folder collapse of
subs and function
---------------------------
Note: A MapBasic project and the associated UEStudio project most have the same
name.
This is to be able to link a MapBasic project from UEStudio.
