Function Arguments Displayed in Editor

[gdotzlaw]

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.

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.
