Command Window

Quick Start Guide

Select Command Window from the Window menu in the system MenuBar at the top.
The Command Window will popup on top of the main App Builder Window.
It will stay "on top" even in the runtime view.
You also have the full power of the CodeAssistant to help you.

You can type Lianja/VFP, JavaScript, Python or PHP commands directly into the Command window. Additionally you can connect to an ODBC data source and run SQL commands against it with the results displayed in the Output panel.

You can delete text by pressing ESC if you haven't already pressed ENTER to execute the command.

You can re-execute a previous command by navigating up to it in the command history using the Up and Down arrow keys or placing the cursor anywhere on the command line, and then pressing ENTER.

The contents of the command window are saved when you exit the App Builder and restored when you run it again.

All Lianja/VFP commands and functions can be used in the Lianja/VFP Command Window apart from flow control and looping commands and others that form a begin...end statement block.

Pro Tip

As a power user you can create, edit, compile and run script files in the command window.
