Question: How could I use Visual Code instead of the standard script editor in the Gedi

31.08.2026 13:39 by Mulder, Frenk (YU TIS NL SE SD)

Is there some script code that I can can change so that I open 'Visual Code' from the GEDI instead of the standard script editor ? Example: can I open my editor when I double-click a button.

Thanks

You could define another app associated with our script or panel files and then open it in that app via right mouse menu -> "Open in External Application":
https://www.winccoa.com/documentation/WinCCOA/latest/en_US/Native_GEDI/Project_view.html?hl=Open%20in%20External%20Application

But it can't be done with a double click on the shape in panel.

Unfortunately the 'gedi/editLibs' & 'gedi/editScripts' scripts are only used for the gedi menu items to open a file selector and start the editor.
It would be nice the file name was passed from the project view to edit a library or script and to start the editor (without file name the file selector would still be opened).
