Wish Event options list

[Mark Read]

Pressing the "." after an object brings up a list of the properties eg. Edittext1. will show Text, GotFocus etc.

Any chance that this system could be extended for events? When a sub is defined with an event name, pressing the "_" would show a list of the available events. A click or long click event is easy to remember but I have to go back to my book (yep I bought THE book - its great) to get the correct syntax for other events and their respective return values.

I realize that a quick look into designer. generate members will also give the required information.

Just a thought.

Do this:
Sub<Space><Tab>

brings up a list of objects and their events.

Amazing! Where is that written?
Not quite what I meant but close. I wanted this system with my own event name.

For example a toggle object called ToggleLanguage.

I type in "sub ToggleLanguage" and as soon as I type "_" it shows the options for the events (not a good example I know!).

But your way is also cool! Thanks

I can understand your way is more intuitive for a programmer, since you already know the objectname, why select the object type again from a list.
The only problem I can see is that in B4A the Objectname and EventPrefix are separate things.

Hopefully Erel can comment.

The EventName is too dynamic to be used in this case.
