function tooltip

[Jotos]

Heya!

How can I create a Tooltip like this one for my own functions?

Check in your SciTE install directory for properties/au3.keywords.properties and api/au3.api. You can figure it out from there.

or, by putting the functions that interest you in a proper UDF with Func headers,  
and giving the UDF  to CallTip Manager, by pressing ctrl + 1, in the tab, other tools, and pressing, Run User CallTip Manager.

There's instructions for what I think you want, in the Scite help file, under "User CallTip Manager" as ioa747 said, also found here

https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/scite/docs/SciTE4AutoIt3/user-calltip-manager.html

Whether or not you need full Scite or not, I'm not sure.

The au3.user.calltips.api file is in %localappdata%\AutoIt v3\SciTE folder, if you have one, if not, then as ioa747 said, you'll need the full Scite install. But the above tutorial using the manager will be far easier to use I think.

If you only want a call tip showing the syntax, the new Beta Scite by @Jos found here (

has dynamic call tips that are auto created. Pretty handy.

Yeah, the calltip stuff I made has really been hit hard by bit rot. I need to get around to updating all of that.
