Common Place to Keep all the Visual Scripts.

Hi ,

Actually, I want to place all my visual scripts at a single place (maybe I would make a Library or directly add the visual Scripts at my solution ) and then I want to give the reference of these visual scripts to my Events which are performed on the forms.

There are three reasons of doing the above things..

Another developer will be able to see the Visual Scripts easily because he would not needed to go to the particular object which has performed the event and then find out the script.
Helpful in code review activities.
Two Events if by anyway perfoming the same things then we could reference a single visual script to them.

Right now I don't see any place from where I could give the refernce of these visual scripts on the events. Could you please tell me the solution??

Regards!!

Amitabh.

Th problem here is that you cannot add Business Objects to a Visual Script. because of this, it will not be possible.

If you could add Business Objects to Visual Scripts (as I have asked for a loong time ago), not only would this be possibleou would also avoid the need to add Business Objects to Processes. That would greatly improve performance in most of our systems as we can see on other approach if we need to acces Business Objects during an Action.

Atleast there is a way of doing this although it is a long approach..

The best way to do is to create a Library and then add Visual Scripts under that with the following steps..

Create a Library.
Within this create Visual Scripts .
In the Visual Scripts property enable the 'Promote to toolbox' checkbox.
Open your project
Go to the repository view and select 'Add this Library to current project'.
Now on any event of any form you can drag your Visual Script from the toolbox.

The only limitation right now is you'd not be able to use your local variables there in the Visual Script which I think Metastorm will definiately come up with in the next release.

I still maintain that a Visual Script without access to any Business Objects is at best awkward, at worst just not going to be any use except for highly specific activities. Theis is what we have found so far.

I would be happy to be proved wrong with some examples.

I agree Jerome. The Metastorm Team will definiately come up with some Idea I hope.

This is on the product backlog and will appear in a future release.
