Using FinalBuilder 4.1.0.199
I know that I can set the madExcept EXE location from the Tools | Options | Compilers | MadExcept page. That works great.
But I’m building two different products that use different versions of MadExcept and I want to change which EXE I use based on the build. I’m betting that there’s a GetOptionsObject(“madExcept”) (or something like it) that I can manipulate properties on. What would the values be in this particular case?
In general - for other actions with option objects - how can I tell what the name of the Options Object and how do I get a list of the property names? I found that some of the object options are declared as global objects and appear when you do code-insight dropdown - but some seem to be missing (although I did find MadExcept). I’m hoping that once I get to the property names, the explanantion will be obvious (cross fingers). I found a list of some objects and properties in “Accessing the Options settings via scripting”, but it seemed to be a far from a complete list. Is there a text file or help file that I can snoop around in?
Thanks,
Jason Swager
Hi Jason,
This is the code for MadExcept to change the location:
dim opt
opt = GetOptionsObject(“MadExcept”)
opt.MadExceptLocation = "c:\new path…"
Basically, you should let the code completion engine guide you. And if it doesn’t, then it’s something we need to fix 
So, for example, on the 3rd line typing opt. you should get a list of the available properties of the MadExcept options object. You might be a little out of date with your version too if you don’t see it, the latest FB4 build is:

Yep - that works just fine. Thanks!
