Show return type of procedures/interfaces in status bar help

Post by Danilo »

I would like to see the return type of procedures and interface functions in the status bar help, if available.

For "Procedure.s sProc()" or "Procedure.pPoint pointProc()" it should show the return type ".s"/".pPoint".
Same for Interface functions, when writing "xyz\theFunction(" it shows the status bar help without the return type.

Would help much, if you have to deal with some hundred or some thousand functions. Thanks!

Small example:

Code: Select all

Macro pPoint : i : EndMacro

Interface myInterface
    func1.s(arg1, arg2)
    func2.pPoint(arg1, arg2)
EndInterface

x.myInterface
x\func2(  ; << Status bar shows "func2(arg1, arg2)" only -> "func2.pPoint(arg1, arg2)" or "func2(arg1, arg2) : pPoint" would help
