Extron ControlScript Extension for VS Code (part number 79-775-01) — brings ControlScript programming into Microsoft Visual Studio Code.

Instead of learning a separate proprietary editor, control system programmers can write Extron ControlScript projects inside the same VS Code environment they already use for other work. The extension adds Extron-specific code completion, syntax checking, and reference material directly into the editor, and structures every project as plain files so it drops cleanly into GIT or another version control system without a proprietary project container getting in the way.

Key Capabilities

• Integrates ControlScript programming directly into Microsoft Visual Studio Code
• Adds IntelliSense code completion, Python grammar checking, and macros
• Provides inline documentation and code snippets for Extron device libraries
• Structures projects as separate files for straightforward GIT version control
• Supports current Python 3.11 language features for control scripting
• Works with the separately available ControlScript Deployment Utility for on-device debugging

Where It Is Used

Used by AV programmers writing and maintaining Extron control system code who want a modern, extensible editor and standard version-control workflow instead of a closed development environment.
