Thanks John.
So the dictionary would contain the fulll API function call and
parameters ('BooleanToStringTrueFalse(theBool as boolean) As string')
with the key being an integer 'indexof' into the array, and the array
would an an ordered list of just the small sub/function name
strings("BooleanToStringTrueFalse")?
Does this mean that I would search the array for the fragment I am
looking for, then use that found indexof as the key for the
dictionary and pull out the longer string?
Yes that makes sense.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am writing a RBscript text editor for one of my apps. I have
added syntax highlighting, such that is now looks like the RB IDE.
Now I want to add a tooltips feature that displays the API for my
exposed context classes.
My first thought was to add my api call as a dictionary.
RBapi = new dictionary
RBapi.Value("BooleanToStringTrueFalse") =
"BooleanToStringTrueFalse(theBool as boolean) As string"
This works great. Now my editor has api help info when the user
clicks inside any (RBapi key value) word in the editor (eg
BooleanToStringTrueFalse)
But to improve this, as I type, I want the editor to show me the
best guess, for eg:
when I type "BooleanToSt" At this point I want the tooltip to show
the help for this BooleanToStringTrueFalse?
My approach would be to use a dictionary and array together. You can
make the array an ordered list, and make the dictionary contain
indices into the array. Wrap it all up in a class to keep it
transparent and simple :)
HTH,
Jon
