Adding the code window to an existing app

[HR Myler]

Note the code window (and language pulldown) below:

Is there any way to make this appear in an app that has an embedded Blockly coder but does not display the code window? (see below). The package for the app includes the various language javascript modules.

The code area and language picker are not part of the core Blockly distribution. You can emulate it in your app by calling Blockly.JavaScript.workspaceToCode(Blockly.getMainWorkspace()), which returns the text-based representation of the current blocks, which you could e.g. insert into a <textarea>.

Could that be put into one of the js modules in the executable package? I do not have access to the original source, which I think is C#.

[Aaron Dodson]

Yes, that should work; if you can access and modify the JS for Blockly bundled in the app, the code I mentioned should in all likelihood work fine.

Thanks. Is 'how this works' documented anywhere? I am guessing at this stage that when the app that has Blockly embedded in it runs, it loads the Blockly js files as needed like a DLL.
