Version 1.04 Released 2023-11-06
is a collection of powerful VFP add-on tools that are launched via command line syntax followed by pressing a hotkey.
In this documentation F8
is used as this hotkey, for consistency. It can easily be changed by using one of Thor's tools.
Some of these programmers' tools are unique to Pandora
, while others provide access to existing Thor tools.
This is a list of all the "commands" that Pandora
supports, along with a short description. Click the text for details.
Note: Some "commands" also have a shorter version, you can see them in the second column. And all Pandora
commands are case insensitive.
These "commands" work in all of VFP's code editors, including the command window:
Note 1: NO
behaves somewhat differently in the Command Window than in VFP's editors.
In addition to the "commands" listed above, these work only in the Command Window:
Command | Short | Result after pressing Pandora hotkey, e.g. F8 |
---|---|---|
-blank- | Opens default files listed in active .pan file | |
0 (zero) | Opens active .pan file for editing | |
Dir | * | List all VFP files in the path |
DirX | ** | Same as above, more info in the table |

Likewise, these "commands" only work in VFP's code editors (Modify Command, Form or Class designer):
Command | Short | Result after pressing Pandora hotkey, e.g. F8 |
---|---|---|
-na- | Run the code where your cursor is | |
-blank- | Menu of relevant Pandora options | |
DD Note 2 | DoDefault() syntax builder | |
Eval | = | Insert returned value from a function |
Inc | Insert #Include statement | |
Insert | +, Ins | Insert contents from a prg |
Menu | ? | Menu of relevant Pandora options |
Note 2: DD
only works in VFP's Form or Class Designer, and not in Modify Command.
-na- means special handling, see documentation for details.
In addition to the features mentioned above, Pandora
comes with an advanced "project organizer", click here for details.
The easiest and only supported way to install Pandora
, is to use Thor's Check For Update.
