SystemScripter 6.02 Review - Snippets, Solutions, and Sidebars
(Page 4 of 6 )
Writing code gets even easier when using snippets and solutions. The program contains well over 1,000 prewritten, reusable code snippets for many common scripting tasks. You can access code snippets at any time by pressing F12. Follow the menu structure down to determine what type of script you need and then simply choose the task you'd like to complete. The necessary code is inserted into your script automatically. Any code pieces that require your customization will be clearly highlighted in blue along with full comments.
The Solutions sidebar is a wonderful resource. You can mouse over the tab on the left side of the application to expand it. Click the push pin button if you'd like it to stay open on your screen.
From the Solutions sidebar you have quick access to the local file system, users and groups, and a WMI object browser. You can use these tools to navigate these items in real-time or use them to insert these objects into your script with drag-and-drop.
Next to the Solutions tab you will find the COM tab. This houses a complete real-time COM object browser. This isn't just an ordinary COM browser either. Sure it lists every available COM object on your computer, but it also provides information for each of them!
Double-clicking any item in the COM object browser will provide you with complete details about that object including file versions, names, and CLSIDs. But here's where this COM object browser is different! It also provides you with a complete list of all methods and properties belonging to that object.
