>>First, you probably know how AR I am about my code. Back in QB (that's right QB) and continuing in VB, if you were to enter:

a=b+c

the editor modified that to:

a = b + c

It also inserted a space after commas, set the keyword capitalization properly and expanded abbreviations. Further, if you typed a variable name as:
>>
>>lcsomevar
>>
>>and later changed it to
>>
>>lcSomeVar

>>Lastly, real time syntaxing. When the enter key is pressed the line is evaluated for syntactical correctness. I first ran into this on the Atari 8K BASIC back in the early 80s and have been a fan of this ever since.

How about editor event hooks, so we could write our own editor extensions? AfterSpaceBar(), BeforeNewLine(), BeforeSave(), etc.. I haven't experimented enough with VFP7 to know where the limits of IntelliSense are, but someone else here might have more info. Personally, I'd write a set of syntax checkers for XML, HTML, etc. that work within the VFP editor. That would be useful doing Web Connect development, wouldn't it?
