If you use the vlide and inspect the Vla-Object, you'll see all the other goodies.
I tried it Ronjon, I seldom use VLIDE because it doesn't have line numbers.
If I can get it to feed me syntax keywords like IntelliSense does with C# in Visual Studio I would be one seriously happy camper.
So far I tried duplicating what you described but I'm not getting anything except nil?
I know I am doing the completely wrong steps though.
Just not familiar with the stepping and other interface tidbits of the vlide, always hated the ls_ files it generated and I like my Textpad much better for text editing/searching.
Thanks CAB I was also reading here:
http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=19588.0trying to find the vla-put- for (plot / no plot)
vla-put-plottable wasn't it,
; error: ActiveX Server returned an error: Parameter not optional
tried plot and noplot
Sifting through help files right now too.
Mainly I wanted to access every varation possible for the new layer management systems including noplot & reconcile as well.
