Code completion bug

Hi,
I am using version 1.8 of B4A.

when I declare a function like: mySub (x, y As Int), code completion shows "mySub(x as String, y as Int)" where it should show "mySub(x As Int, y as Int)

Changing the declaration to "mySub(x as Int, y as Int)" shows the expected result ...

Not a big problem but it has caused some issues because I passed parameters as strings (forgetting what the actual parameter type should be and relying on code completion) where an int is expected :BangHead: ...

This is actually not a bug (while it is a bit confusing).

You can only use the shorthand syntax in a Dim declaration. Otherwise the variables will be declared as strings.

I understand but should the compiler then not complain if you use the shorthand syntax as it clearly states what the user wants but the result is something different?

This was probably a design mistake. The reasoning behind it that you will be able to use variables without declaring their type. String is a general type that works in almost all cases.

I agree that there should be some warning about it. It will be added in a future version.
