BasicNoUIObjLoadModule Method

Loads a module by parsing it and preparing it for execution.

Namespace: WinWrap.Basic.Server
Assembly: WinWrap.Basic.Server (in WinWrap.Basic.Server.dll)
Syntax
Copy
public bool LoadModule(
	string fileName
)

Parameters

fileName  String
Load this module. If fileName is a null string, use the value of the FileName property as the file name.

Return Value

Boolean
Return True if the module is loaded.

Implements

IBasicNoUILoadModule(String)
Remarks

LoadModule does not change any code visible in the IDE. All Public declarations in the module are available when loading other modules or running other macros. Loading a module has these special considerations:

  • Loading a module that was started as a macro (not loaded) returns False.
  • Loading a module already loaded by a '#Uses comment returns True.
All syntax errors are reported via the Error property.

Macro/Module Paths

Macro/module paths are typically file paths. However, it is sometimes useful to work with macros/modules that are not stored as files. A macro/module path is of the form:

C#
Copy
[*[*]]path[*]
Part Description
'*' Paths that being with '*' are non-file system macro/modules. The application provides the methods for reading and writing these files. Paths that begin and end with '*' are hidden from the IDE. User's can't step into or otherwise inspect the contents.
'**' Paths that begin with '**' are non-file system modules. The application provides the methods for reading and writing these files. Running an event-driven module loads it using LoadModule.
path This is the identity of the macro/module.

Example
Load and then unload a module:
Copy
if (basicIdeCtl1.LoadMoule("TEST.BAS"))
{
    MessageBox.Show("TEST.BAS is loaded.");
    basicIdeCtl1.UnloadModule("TEST.BAS");
}
