What's happened to the help?

I’m building an IDE script, and can find nothing in the help about scripting the IDE anymore. All I can find by doing a web search is a PDF, which I must download to double check the syntax.

Is there a reason for all the IDE scripting functions to disappear from the help?

There is this:

http://documentation.xojo.com/index.php/Scripting_Language

But you’re right, the IDE Scripting pages have gone away. Perhaps @Paul Lefebvre can shed some light?

The IDE Script sections were extensively rewritten for 2013r4 and moved to the User Guide. Unfortunately, this new content did not have a decent way to lay it out in the wiki.

You can grab just a PDF of the IDE Script stuff from the wiki page, though: http://documentation.xojo.com/index.php/IDE_Script

I don’t find the PDF version to be as helpful as the original documentation. I much prefer a online searchable reference. Alternatively if you could lay the PDF out in a single column it would be easier to digest.

I did find an error with the “DoShellCommand” example.

[quote]Dim command As String
command = "codesign -f --deep -s ""Devel-
oper ID Application: YourName “”
"“YourXojoApp.app “””
DoShellScript(command)[/quote]
DoShellScript should be DoShellCommand.

One year later and I spent an good hour trying to figure this out, thank you for this thread. Still the 2015r1 docs are inaccurate…
I have filed this as 38398 but since I am off-subscription for my Xojo licenses I guess it will be closed directly.

What makes you think that ?
Reports against old IDE’s the usual response is “Have you tried this in a newer version”
But thus is against the docs which, unless its against the built in copy, should be up to date

Sam wrote last April in response to Paul that the PDF was inaccurate and gave an example. I just looked and error is still in place.
