status bar: same proc name (2 progs) hint is for just 1.

[Dare]

Apologies if this has been mentioned before.

If you have two progs in the IDE and they have procedures with the same name:

Code: Select all

;Prog one
Procedure getItem(num.l, grp.l)
...

Code: Select all

;Prog two
Procedure getItem(method.l, item.l, area.l)
...

Then the hint in the status bar shows the syntax for just one (it appears to be the first procedure referred to when editing) regardless of which program you are in.

So if in Prog One getItem( is typed you see getItem(num.l, grp.l).

Then in Prog Two when typing getItem( you also see getItem(num.l, grp.l).


Not a huge thing, this post is just informational.

I notice also the same thing happening if you type a local procedure name into a source file not containing this procedure, but only if the named procedure is in a source file currently opened in the ide.

e.g. You have an open saved source containing something like

Code: Select all

Procedure Do_Stuff(Stuff.l) 
   Debug Stuff 
EndProcedure 

Then you start a new source file while this other 1 is open & type this procedure name into the new source file, it will show the hint as if it exists in your new source, right up until you try to run it at which point you get the not a function..... message.
