Ouch. I have always been hoping for a Pawn IDE that would just display natives with documentation correctly like what Netbeans or Eclipse does with Java and C++. I tried creating a Netbeans module to support Pawn, but I didn't understand it. I would like to just create my own IDE, but it would be a lot of work to make it work and look good just to add in a simple function. I would love to create or find a lexer though. I really couldn't care less about the IDE telling me about syntax errors since none of the Pawn IDEs ever had any. I'm more concerned with auto-completion and highlighting (my life would suck without it).

I just thought this up while typing. What about creating a program that runs in the background that when you type something, it tries to parse it and auto-complete and display documentation. It would be otherwise redundant outside of programming, but I think it could work nicely. It would basically just display the information either as a tooltip, in a static message box (in the corner if your screen or something), at the cursor, or underneath the carrot.

The question is, how would this program add the methods into the table. I figure they might just be automatically loaded. Like you choose the directory of your includes folder and it parses everything. So it would auto-complete, even if the include isn't within your code. Still, I think it isn't too bad of an idea, and I don't believe it would be difficult to make.

You can do it in a Np++ plugin for sure. That's your job now, waiting for a release in 1 week.

I don't know enough C to get it done. I can however probably complete that idea I mentioned tomorrow if I get an hour or so. I really need to learn C...

I played around with it for a bit to see if I could parse the default files somehow (because they seem to have the worse documentation). This is how it came out, so from here I think I might be able to put something together.

What I'm thinking is to basically just use whatever the default documentation is, but if it contains tags like "@param player", then it will handle those a bit differently. Since it's Java, the final tooltip would be compatible with HTML, so this will turn out to be very similar to Javadoc display. I might even be able to make something like "{@link plugin_init}", which would then give you a link so you could maybe click and view that native from another ones doc.

Edit: I was forced to give up. The problem was that it's kind of a pain to get user input when the program itself doesn't have the focus.

When will be new version, based on Notepad++ 6.0?

**Arkshine** · *Last edited by Arkshine; 04-05-2012 at 13:03.*

Good you remind me to check new version because I would have totally forgot about np++

.

Will update asap.

EDIT : I might wait a bit, just seen author has commited bug fixes few days ago after the release, all related to the new doc map feature. He's going probably to release a new release soon.

EDIT2 : Actually that's not a stable version. I will wait the final release of this version.
