Function Arguments Displayed in Editor

This feature request comes as a result of my VB experience.

If I build a method in Servoy that will act as a function (pass it a number of arguments, it does something with that, and returns a result), why is it that when I call this function from another method, the editor can not show what arguments are required for that function?

For example, when I type
globals.SQL_BuildQueryString()

I have to navigate to my SQL_BuildQueryString method to read my comments about what arguments to pass, what type, and in what order.

In other editors, like VB, if you define a method/function that accepts required or optional arguments, it displays that for you in the editor so you know what to pass (displayed like a tooltip) without having to go look at the function.

Maybe I’m missing something, but it would seem to me that since the Servoy editor uses the keyword “argument”, the editor should be capable of displaying them when you call the method.

Hi Gary,

Please file a feature request in the Servoy Support System: Servoy - Error

As for the feature request: i’m sure you also saw my comment on the other post you did regarding this subject.

I think what would be nice is some way of ‘notating’ a script.

Something like having a seperate notes field when editing a script, the contents of which would appear in a tool tip when mousing over the script in the editors list.
