Editor preferences

The AppBuilder Editor preferences page provides options to control the display behavior of AppBuilder-generated code in the ABL Editor.

Note: You can make the sections of the AppBuilder-generated code read-only in the ABL Editor. Thereby, you can ensure that the AppBuilder-generated code is not overwritten. Editing the AppBuilder-generated code might make the AppBuilder procedure (.w) file corrupt, and display errors when trying to open with the ABL UI Designer.

This page includes the following options:

Option	Description
Make AppBuilder generated code read-only	Select this check-box to mark the AppBuilder-generated code as read-only in the ABL Editor. Note: By default, the Make AppBuilder-generated code read-only check-box is selected.
Read-only code background color	Display the Color dialog, which allows you to select a display color for the read-only code blocks in the ABL Editor. The default display color is gray. Note: This option is enabled when the Make AppBuilder generated code read-only check-box is selected.
Restore Defaults	Restore the preferences to the default values.
Apply	Apply the changes you made to the current workspace configuration.
