In this section, you learn how to use the Script Editor to write scripts. Later, you use these scripts when you create connections to scripts from a visual part. The script you write in this section opens a text file and reads its contents into a temporary variable.
When you open the Script Editor, it looks like the following:
The bottom area is the text area. It contains the class definition for the visual part you are working with. The top-left list is the category list. It lists categories of scripts that have already been defined for your part. The top-right list is the method list. It lists the scripts that have already been defined in the selected category for this part. The category list and method list are empty because we have not written any scripts.
