Android Question Add Comments to explain my owns Sub routines IDE question.

[Daniel-White]

Hi, folks.

I don't know if we have this feature or not in the IDE. An example when I write "ProgressDialogShow the IDE show the text about what is and how to use the ProgressDialoshow
an example. How can we do the same with our sub routines?

Can we do the same for my own Sub routines? and an example I define Sub Clean, where we can put a text to explain the sub routine and when another developer writes "Clean" show a box (Sub clean is to show a toast message bla bla) .

' Sub clean is to show a toast message bla bla
Sub Clean
ToastMessageShow("B4A is great!!!",True)
End Sub


I would like when I am writing "clean" inside of another Sub routine show a box explaining that Sub Clean is for bla bla bla. that will help a lot the others developers.


Thanks

you can´t.

Write a class. Here you can add Comments in front of your subs.
Compile the Class to a library and use the library.
You now can see the documentation .

Thank Don, perhaps? , Erel can add that feature in the IDE? Will be a good idea move this thread to forum "bugs-wishlist" ? That feature will help a lot to document our code.

This works without a Class:

I added your routine, as it is, in one of my programs.

I was not aware of this feature ;-)
Thank you for pointing me into... I should annotate my subs!
