zLoc a nice (and unknown) VFP Intellisense Feature

Probably today is the day of the tips! -:)

Earlier today reading Rick Schummer's blog I discovered a very kewl VFP Command: zLoc

From Rick's post: “ In one of your programs type in the following:

zloc

And press the spacebar. Bingo, all the local variables and any parameters for this procedure are in a dropdown list.”

Read the full post here.

The command added to VFP in version 8 but it is not documented in the help and remains little known.

It's not a VFP command. It is an Intellisense script command.

Check out how it works by looking in the foxcode table.

SELECT 0
USE (_FOXCODE) AGAIN ALIAS fcode
LOCATE FOR UPPER(abbrev) = "ZLOC"
BROWSE &&Look in the data field.

To Jamie
You are absolutely right, thanks for correcting me.

By "VFP Command" I mean a Command/Statement that exists out of the box and does something useful. (May be it is a simplistic approach but if someone knows about Intellisense scripts then probably knows zloc/zdef... too.)

Thank you again.
