Safe to edit APIFunctionListing.txt ?

PB · Post by PB » Wed Jul 07, 2004 2:18 am

As per the subject... some API functions don't show up in QuickHelp (such as
MessageBox) and I want to know if it's safe for me to fix them so they show
up with their correct syntax in QuickHelp.

This is a static file, it might only change on new PB releases, so yes, it is save to edit.
The tool we used to create this file is not the best one, that's why so much strings are missing.
I might improve this in the future, but it doesn't have a very high priority.

Of course, feel free to share your new file if you want it included in the next release

Okay, will do; give me some time to go through it, though.

Update: I've done some work on this file and added parameters for a lot of
common API commands.

But I have a question: the number at the start of
the file -- what is it? Is that the number of commands? If so, can I update
that number if I add an API command (such as CreateWindow, which currently
isn't in there) ? I'll pass the file on to Fred when it nears completion.

Yes, it is the number of commands listed in the file.
If you add a new one, make sure you add it at the right place in alphabetical
order, not just at the end, or it won't be found.

Yep, that's what I expected to do.

I'll keep working on it now.
