Wish Coments as //

[JTmartins]

For some of us that are so used to the // in comments, from other languages, the ability to use either the ' or the // as the begining of a comment, was useful.

I keep forgeting it.

Thanks

Also #,-- and '

 

[DonManfred]

I´m missing the # too (done long time coding in PHP )

 

[Erel]

# is already used for other purposes (regions and module attributes).

I don't believe that there will be additional comments characters. The apostrophe (') is Basic4android language comments character.

I'm fine with the ' as I'm used to it from vb6/vbscript/asp but what I mis is a way to define a comment block.

like /* */ in php/javascript/...

' --
this
is
a
long
comment
block
-- '

(like the html style of commenting < !-- -->, or '* *' whatever)

I got a lot of server errors when trying to add/edit the post when the -- was right after the '

and while we are requesting...

someone mentioned the use of 'todo in VisualStudio in the chat last week.

this would come in handy too and could be nested in the log/lib/files panel

'todo update xml parsing

will put "update xml parsing" on a to-do list in that panel, might be handy if a double click on that line would jump to the comment line.

here's more info...

Do you know that you select a bloc and comment

or uncomment

the whole block with one click.

 

[thedesolatesoul]

Do you know that you select a bloc and comment View attachment 22659 or uncomment View attachment 22658 the whole block with one click.

And I believe the shortcuts for those are Ctrl+W, Ctrl+Q

 

[sorex]

no, too be honnest I thought that were indent icons but now I see those are more to the right.

that ctrl-Q (for Qomment? ) does what I needed indeed.

Dear Erel,
It would be convenient if the block comment option appears in the right mouse click menu.
Thanks for the phenomenon called B4A!

 

[nikolaus]

I'm missing block comments too. What about:

#Region Ignore
...
#End Region

 

[Erel]

The next version will support conditional compilation:

You will be able to use it for comments as well by choosing any inactive symbol.

Erel, you are too fast for me
