Working in RB all controls, fields etc can give you a grey suggestion if there is only one option and pressing will finish your input or give you the suggested properties etc.
These are also depending on the kind of activity/calculation you are making e.q. asking for a boolean means that you only have property so-and-so to your disposal…
Is this something that could be done within servoy. Would make life easier and much faster too.
RB is REALbasic. When working in the IDE and I have a control named ‘combo’ and would type ‘combo.’ (combo, period) and a tab all possible functions, properties etc. availabe after that period are suggested. selecting the right item and typing a tab again will give me the selected item.
When there is an event open and I type ‘combo.o’ and a tab than all suggestions beginning with an o will show up.
And, not only that but there is also the following
‘if (a.value = b.’
Where a.value is a boolean value and while typing this and finishing it with, again, a tab only the suggestions will be given that are boolean… Very handy and fast…
Hope this clears things a little. If not than please mail me off list. So we can go on in Dutch. Might clear things a little better…
Autocompletion it is called
But javascript is untyped (the only type there is is ‘var’) so it is unknown what object you are willing to autocomplete… seems hardly doable to us, and thats why we provide code/sample move in debugger/code edittor
