General notes.

PBintelli is tightly integrated with PowerBuilder enviroment, when started you can see this icon in the try-bar .

If you double click on it you open the settings window.

 

      Start and Stop buttons enable or disable the service

      In the library list editor you can put the search library list. Leave it empty if you want that PBitelli automatically detects the library list. You can use Library List button to search for PowerBuilder target and load its library list or you can copy the list from PowerBuilder enviroment and then paste it in the editor. Remember: if the editor isnt empty PBintelli uses its content.

      Exclude constants and Exclude events check boxes make PBintelli exclude constants and events from the autocomplete list. (for speed reasons )

      AutoRefresh: you can try to clear this check if you have speed problems and the PowerBuilder project is not on your PC. In this case after every save operation you have manually refresh (using context menu) if you want make PBintelli able to see the changes.

 

This properties are loaded from PBintelli.exe.config file, you can edit this file manually:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<configuration>

<appSettings>

<add key="Exclude.constants" value="false" />

<add key="Exclude.events" value="false" />

<add key="Autorefresh" value="true" />

</appSettings>

</configuration>

For example set the value attibute of key "Autorefresh" to false if you have speed problems and work on a slow net.


 

PBintelli helps you write code faster and more accurately by presenting context-sensitive pick list of possible values to insert into your code based on a few characters you have already typed. Just type the dot . after an object name and a list of possibilities appear. You can even use the key words this and parent.

 

 

 

If you want the columns names of a datawindow object you can type something like this

 

      Double click on the item or select it and press enter to paste the item directly in PowerBuilder code editor

      Press space if you want to hide the list

 

 

N.B. An element must be saved before it can appear in PBintelli list. For example if you add cb_1 button to a window you have to save the window if you want to see cb_1 in the list.
