ABSTRACT:
A graphical programming application is provided that is intended to be run under a graphic user interface operating system. When running the graphical programming software application, a user can select a graphic object and an associated event, and define actions that occur when the event happens, to develop or modify the graphical program as desired. In addition to a graphic editor view mode, the user may optionally view a plain text listing corresponding to the graphic program, or use a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code editor in which statements corresponding to the graphic program are displayed, or activate a mode in which both code editors are visible at one time on the screen, so that changes made to the VBA statements are immediately reflected in the graphical program and vice versa. Since the user is able to view the VBA code that corresponds to the graphical program steps, proficiency in programming with VBA text-based code is more rapidly developed.
