Declaration

Declaration Types

You can declare variables manually by using the textual or tabular declaration editor or automatically like explained in this chapter.

Automatic Autodeclaration

You can define in the Options dialog box, category Text editor > Editing, that the Auto Declare dialog box should open as soon as a not yet declared string is entered in the implementation part of an editor and the ENTER key is pressed. This dialog box supports the declaration of the variable.

Manual Autodeclaration

To open the Auto Declare dialog box manually:

  • execute the command Auto Declare, which by default is available in the Edit menu or

  • press the keys SHIFT+F2

If you select an already declared variable before opening the Auto Declare dialog box, you can edit the declaration of this variable.
