iLogic + Visual Studio Code

Microsoft released Visual Studio Code 1.0 this week.

 

https://code.visualstudio.com/

 

What is the feasibility of customizing it for iLogic?

 

For me, I have found that using a text editor for external iLogic rules works better than using the iLogic editor built in. But, if I could have code hinting and colorization specifically for Ilogic, I'd be a lot happier.

Hi, you can get similiar colorization if you'll switch language syntax to Visual Basic.

You can do so even in Notepad++.

Consider using "Accept as Solution" / "Kudos" if you find this helpful.

I like VB Script in Sublime Text, but that's just personal preference.

 

My issue is that I spend a lot of time guessing, trying, guessing again with iLogic. There's good documentation on VBA and VB for Inventor, but I'm never sure when something is or isn't going to work in iLogic.

Well, you can write your code in Visual Studio, then place it in iLogic and check "Straight VB code".
