Opening a Prototype window to add a new function

How you create a new function depends on whether you are defining a global function or an object-level function.

To create a new global function

  • Select File>New from the menu bar and select Function from the PB Object tab.

    The Function painter opens, displaying a Script editor with an open Prototype window in which you define the function.

To create a new object-level function

  1. Open the object for which you want to declare a function.

    You can declare functions for windows, menus, user objects, or applications.

  2. Select Insert>Function from the menu bar, or, in the Function List view, select Add from the pop-up menu.

    The Prototype window opens in a Script editor or, if no Script editor is open, in a new Script editor.
