I am using Pega Robotics Studio Version 8.0.1080.0.
When I tried to Edit Script component script.cs file is getting opened. Now how can I add a JavaScript function into it? How can I add JavaScript libraries into it?
In my case I want to write a JavaScript Method for raising a event for Autocomplete Search box to select options by click.
Please provide solution with an example if possible.

The script component is for creating C# methods that you can execute in automations. If you want to execute JavaScript on a particular page, use the two methods I provided in my last response. There is no editor provided; simply two methods where you can supply your own JS code.
A WebPage object has two methods that are useful here; ExecuteScript (ES) and InvokeScriot (IS). ES cab be used to insert a JS function into the page. I generally use it to create a JS function that I will then call with IS. IS can execute a given script on the page and can supply parameters to it. If you wanted a function that showed a JS dialog;
use ES...
function PegaRobotics_ShowDialog(message) {
alert(message);
return "done";
}
use IS;

PegaRobotics_ShowDialog (script name)
pass a string to the next parameter.
