Thanks to all,
I have now implemented the tooltip in my RBscript editor (I used
Jon's array and dictionary combo) and it's working great.
I show the potential functions and overloaded options, like RB55 used to.
Now to add code completion for the RB framework functions....
I don't suppose anybody has a list of the RB framework function calls handy?
eg
beep
msgbox

Can I look for a fragment of a key from a dictionary?
Any other ideas?
There have been a lot of dictionary suggestions...but I wonder if a
dictionary really helps this problem.
A dictionary is great for string lookups, but not substrings
If you build a different mechanism that's fast enough for substring
lookups, then why do you need a dictionary at all?
And if you have a string that needs looking up how do you know
whether it's a full string or just a substring? It seems to me that
you need to do the substring based lookup in almost every case, so I
wonder if the dictionary really helps much in this case.
BTW I'm a REALLY big fan of the dictionary but it doesn't seem to me
that it fits the meat of this problem.
Yes you are probably correct here Joe.
But I had half skinned the cat so I kept that code.

Joe Huber
