Android Question Sub Commenting - with Copy Code Example

[Jack Cole]

It is very handy to be able to hit Copy in the comment that pops up for the description of certain custom functions. Is there a way for everyone to do this? Can I insert something to tell the IDE to make the code below appear as example code that can be copied to the clipboard?

you can add comments to the lines direct before a sub/method of a library...

'Finds the file with the given name. If not found creates a new file.
Public Sub FindFileOrCreate (Parent As ExternalFile, Name As String) As ExternalFile
    Dim f As ExternalFile = FindFile(Parent, Name)
    If f.IsInitialized = False Then
        Return CreateNewFile(Parent, Name)
    Else
        Return f
    End If
End Sub

this is from the external storage class.... if you use yourclassname.FindFileOrCreate a popup appears showing the Text

Finds the file with the given name. If not found creates a new file.

'Finds the file with the given name. If not found creates a new file.
'<code>
'For Each v As B4XView In Panel1.GetAllViewsRecursive
'    ...
'Next</code>

Perfect. Thank you! I was close in guessing, but used the wrong character. This will be very useful.
