**************

Good day everyone!

I had very few comments for the first release of the tool. A couple of users reported erractic behaviour of the tool under certain circumstances.

I made appropriate changes so the tool will work in a greater number of environments.

Please let me know if this version works for you.

Here is the original post with instructions:

=======================================

This is the first release of a free utility of mine to help developpers have a better life.

The main feature is SEARCHING VARIABLES in event rule design. Yes! No more scrolling through thousands of variables! The application hides itself until a supported window is opened. When required, it pops open on top of the window and let the user do a Search/select of variables in the list box.

Supported Event rule design windows:
1- Assignments (both left and right lists)
2- Expression builder (assignment of a formula)
3- Table I/O
4- Form Interconnect
5- Report Interconnect
6- System Function
7- Business functions mapping

Instructions:
1- Unzip the program
2- Run it, it will minimize in the system tray
3- Forget it until it pops up

How to search:
1- Click on the list box containing the variable (that's a required step so the dialog has the focus... sorry, a little bug I couldn't figure out yet)
2- Click on the combo box of the search application
3- Type any part of the name of a variable (3 to 4 letters are often enough!)
4- Click on the down arrow to get a list matching the entry. The search is CASE SENSITIVE.
5- Select a variable and watch the list box below being updated
6- If doing an assignment (variable to variable), repeat the same step for the right side of the assignment

Bonus features:
1- Clear JDE.LOG and JDEDEBUG.LOG from the system tray menu
2- Open JDE.LOG and JDEDEBUG.LOG from the system tray menu
3- Insert a multi line comment in JDE.LOG and JDEDEBUG.LOG from the system tray menu (Very usefull for troubleshooting!)

This is the first release to the public. It has been tested with a few versions but might fail with yours. If so, contact me and I'll try to make it work.

If you see bugs or if you have ideas about features you would like to see in the future, reply to this message.

IF YOU LIKE IT, REPLY and let us know!
