Hi Unifacers,

from documentation Uniface 10 has terminated support for:
    /exe  Switch that was specific to the Development Environment. No longer supported.
without any specific reason.
In Uniface9 we had a very useful utility which after a search on components code was opening a separate development session directly on any of the components identified; this utility cannot be ported on Uniface10 without a restructuring.

Now my questions:
1) Is it possible in Uniface 10 Development having available the primary key of a Uniface component opening it directly in editing mode in a new session or in a separate Tab?
2) If answer to #1 is NO, will a /exe or a /edit feature be implemented again in a next future on all Uniface development objects?
3) If answer to #1 is YES, same functionality could be applied to any Uniface development object (Global procs, Global Includes, Global Menus, Modeled entities, Modeled fields, Code Snapshots, Field templates, and so on) ?
4) If answer to #1 is YES, where can I find documentation on this feature?

Thanks in advance for any answer / suggestion.

Best Regards,
Gianni

Yes it's possible, the base documentation is in the IDE API Operations and the associated Worksheet Plugins and Menu Plugins. 

It's possibly already built for you in the IDE Utilities download from Here, (If that link doesn't work, try navigating to 'Sub-forum home' above, then selecting Support on the right, product download and then Uniface Support Library.
