RE: Relief from redundancy?
I used to do that, then I started setting some of these "common change items" as variables in the application.cfm. You want to change the background on all pages? One line of code. The best part is, because you control how you're using the variable, you don't have to worry about "accidentally" replacing something that belongs.

Re: Relief from redundancy?
I don't know if you're familiar with CF Studios code templates. It won't simulate clicks and thinks like that but it can help with code reuse. Such as creating tables and queries. See it helps its in Options -> Settings -> Code Templates Once you've created one just use CTRL + J to quickly apply a template. Hope this helps somewhat.

Would using Snippets help? Once you've created a bit of code, saving it as a snippet would let you easily paste it into templates.

>>if only Studio had such a simple, fast, dynamic macro yeah. Yeah. YEAH. I've used word to generate program code for terminal program before. because sometimes, macros can reduce the amount of work significantly. If not studio, you could still use word.

RE: Relief from redundancy?
Relief from redundancy would be not getting duplicates of everything on the list. ;) Supposedly you can use Javascript and VBscript to write what you are talking about. CF Studio exposes objects (application, activedocument, documentcache - i think) that can be used in these scripts. In CFStudio 4.5 it is sort of documented under "Scripting the Visual Tools Object Model". My one feeble attempt resulted in failure and I haven't built my self-confidence up again enough to try again . . . but if anyone else has succeeded, a quick example would be nice.

RE: Relief from redundancy?
I've used Extended Find/Replace quite a bit to run long tedious stuff, like when people say "can you make the background cornflower blue instead of white? because white is so blah, i know that our site spans over 160,000 cfm pages but i'm sure you can do it!" It works for things like that as long as you can find a similarity to replace... otherwise i suggest drinking heavily -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.
