[SOLVED] AutoComplete and modules

Hi,

Maybe someone already said this on the forum, but when you have multiple files in a project, and a module for each file, and a common module ; all procedures called from the common module are not recognized by AutoComplete. That would be great to see that fixed

I'm not %100 sure this is what you are looking for but have a look in the preferences under autocomplete/displayed items.

I'm aware of that, I'm not looking for anything. I'm pretty sure it's a bug. The AutoComplete does not work at all in the case I described.

Common.pb :

Code:

DeclareModule Common

  Declare MyProcedure()

EndDeclareModule

DeclareModule UI
  
  UseModule Common

EndDeclareModule

Module Common

  Procedure MyProcedure()
    ; stuff
  EndProcedure

EndModule

XIncludeFile "UI.pb"

UI.pb :

Code:

Module UI
  ; if you try to call MyProcedure() from here, AutoComplete will not work - it will work however if you don't use "UseModule Common" and call Common::MyProcedure() ; but the point of having a common module is to avoid that.
EndModule

FYI, all the files are in a single project.

I see. (edit removed wrong answer ..sorry)
I just tried your code and it works for me. Autocomplete does see the module.

Wot ?

That's what it does. It includes the Common module... "UseModule Common". That should work.

Looks like I'm losing all around on this one. It does work but you do have to qualify it with the module name, ie:

Code:

Common::MyProcedure()

Which makes the UseModule command redundant. Your point is valid, sorry about the confusion.

Its not a bug but rather a limitation of the way AutoComplete is implemented. I have written about this here: http://www.purebasic.fr/blog/?p=417

All you have to do is to repeat the UseModule keyword inside your Module to help the IDE understand the connection.

Code:

Module UI
  UseModule Common 
 
  ; Now AutoComplete should work
EndModule
