Slick V3.3 manual Comment Block, If !enabled TabState = Tisdisabled

Extension Options Dialog

Comment Block

These settings are used when you comment out a selected block of text (Format → Comment Block or box command). SlickEdit® Core provides eight fields to specify the characters used in your commenting style. If you want to apply a comment with no additional decoration, fill in the upper-left and lower-right fields with the characters to begin and end a block comment. To draw a box around the comment, fill in additional characters in the other fields. For example, you might put an asterisk in each of the other fields to draw a box of asterisks around the block comment.

SlickEdit Core interprets the contents of these fields literally. If you want the asterisks on the left-hand side to line up, you need to put a space before the asterisk in the left, middle field. Likewise you would put a space before the asterisk and slash in the field containing the end of comment characters. Trailing spaces are ignored on the right-hand fields.

To illustrate, the following code sample is a selection:

if (!enabled) {

tabState = TIS_DISABLED;

}

From the main menu, click Format → Comment Block, and the selection is commented out as follows:
