#region - what is it

Recommended Posts

I was looking to convert a numeric month into the word and came across Valik's code (link below) to do so. In looking at it I see he uses #region and #endregion which I hadn't heard of. I naturally clicked the word and pressed F1 to read the help file. Nothing. Not the first time though so I switched to the search tab. Still nothing useful for my imediate purposes. I did learn a little about pixel regions though. Next I came here and searched for #region and #endregion. I don't see any obvious posts in regards to these other than the standard JokesII post that comes up with every search. Apparently this forum can even make jokes about #region - which is really quite impressive... or twisted... or both. Either way at this point I wouldn't get the joke. Can someone direct me to the appropriate location to find info about #region?

Thanks!

It is for code folding.

Open Valik's code within the SciTE editor and click on the minus sign between the line number and the line with #region on it for a demo* of code folding.

* I do not know if "SciTE-Lite" folds code - I have the "full version" of SciTE4AutoIt3.

Mine folds the code. I just thought it might do more than that. Not that being able to format in SciTE isn't useful enough.

So it is simply to make it more readable? It doesn't provide any functionality beyond formating?

Its very handy when you have a real big script to section the code in regions that easily fold and unfold.....

The Folding is part of SciLexer.dll used by all versions of SciTE.... :whistle:
