Scite and UDF support

[diepfeile]

Scite has autocomplete and infos support for the main includes (e.g. #include Array.au3).

How do I achieve that for my UDFs?

what is the problem? it's working for me. are you talking about adding your functions to the autocomplete?

You will need to create your own udf and then use the following in the Full Scite

Tools > Scite Config > Run User Call Tip Manager

Yes, It looks like it isn't triggered automatically with #include...

I already have my own UDFs, but they don't show up in the autocomplete nor do I get tips for their parameters, despite having them already #include'd.

I found that though: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/70491-add-user-call-tips-to-scite-for-extra-udfs/

The one I mentioned is the latest version of AutoIt, here are the full steps:

• Click: Tools > Scite Config
• Click: Other Tools Tab
• Click: Run User CallTip Manager
• Browse to your personal include folder
• Select the UDF from the drop down list
• If you have included headers for your functions select "Header Mode" otherwise select "Direct Mode" (Just uses the parameters)
• Click: Parse button
• Click: Add or Skip to add the call tips
• Close and restart Scite

I think the user also wants the parameter hints to show up. that would be cool if possible.

thanks @Subz, that works, even my paramers show up. I did not even know you could do this, how nice.

Np, normally once I finish a personal udf, I would do the following:

• Select: First line of the function i.e. Func Example(...)
• Click: Tools > Make UDF Header
• This will automatically create the header with the correct syntax and description of the parameters like below
• Add a description
• Go through the steps above using Header Mode
  The Call Tips Manager uses the Syntax and Description as the call tip.

Hope that helps.

; #FUNCTION# ====================================================================================================================
; Name ..........: Example
; Description ...: Function description
; Syntax ........: Example($_sRequired[, $iExample = 1])
; Parameters ....: $_sRequired          - an unknown value.
;                  $iExample            - [optional] an integer value. Default is 1.
; Return values .: None
; Author ........: Your Name
; Modified ......: 
; Remarks .......: 
; Related .......: 
; Link ..........: 
; Example .......: No
; ===============================================================================================================================
Func Example($_sRequired, $iExample = 1)

Maybe something should be added here: https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Adding_UDFs_to_AutoIt_and_SciTE ?

I've updated my post a little as there isn't much there about using the headers.

I should have the latest Beta Version: 3.3.15.0

"Click: Tools > Scite Config" This only works for me, if I have a saved file opened, doesn't work with a new one open. Thanks for the tip, I hoped that worked automatically though.

[Earthshine]

in your new file, type out the function name once, then when you do it again, it should pop up. that is what mine does.

Guess you mean that SciTECOnfig is not available when you start a new file?
This is correct as you need to have a file open with .au3 as file extension to have the AutoIt3 extra tools available!
