Function hints in SciTe for user functions (like intellisense)

[ozymandius257]

When writing a script and I add a function, e.g

Func Wait_for_form($FormName, $Timeout, $ErrorNumber, $FormText = "")

    $WinShows = WinWait($FormName, $FormText, $Timeout)
    If $WinShows = 0 Then
        MsgBox(0, "Error", "Form " & $FormName & " not found")
    EndIf
    WinActivate($FormName)

EndFunc

Is it possible for SciTe to offer the parameters for the function when I type In Wait_for_form like this.

The version I am working on will. It will dynamiccally add funcs from the current script when you save it.

No firm eta yet.

At this moment you can only statically add your own funcs as described in the helpfile that comes with the current full version of scite4autoit3.

it could be nothing, but it took me a while to figure it out

On  SciTE help look for User Abbreviations. And then in Tools SciTE Config  (Ctrl + 1) 

in last bar 'Other Tools'   ' Run Abbrev Manager'

when you put this line with Abbrev  'wff'

Func Wait_for_form($FormName, $Timeout, $ErrorNumber, $FormText = "|")

in SciTE when you type wff and hit space the SciTE write for you and put the cursor in the | position

I hope it help!

ioa747,

I suggest that the "User Call Tip Manager" is the tool that ozymandius257 is looking for - this gives you the list of parameters after typing in the function name. You access it from the same tab in SciteConfig.

Μay be.

I mention this because it took me a while to find and use both of them (my mind was more on how do this and how do that )

I saw that you also contributed to this 

 

         

Congratulations!! and thank you!!
