Where to find "vcCommand" file

Hi,
I also talked about code completion using an external python tool with a developer from VC.
The conclusion was that it’s not really on their agenda (if it has not changed since when we talked)

There is a way to use external tools (in the link above is an add-on but there is also a post which says it’s officially supported which I could not figure out), but it has no code completion, as far as I know.

External Python Editor

This add-on enables the editing of python scripts inside Python Script and Process Handler behaviors in an external editor. The script is opened in an editor associated with .py files in the OS. The add-on supports VC 4.2 Professional/Premium only. A right-click context menu is added for opening and disabling external script: [image] External script files are created in the system’s temp folder and monitored for changes. Whenever the external script is saved, it is compiled in VC. In case the…

The only way to get code completion as far as I know is to generate a converter which creates a python Script from the xml files which holds the information about the VC library:
“C:\Program Files\Visual Components\Visual Components Professional 4.5\SrcTemplates\Python Editor\Auto Complete”
When you converted the xml files to a python script, you could include it and auto-completion should work.
I know it’s kind of a hack, but I don’t know any other way.
If anyone creates such a converter, it would be awesome if you share it

Best Regards,
