Finding type code from method.

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Finding type code from method.

Just in case I am missing a trick...
When reading code which uses methods (e.g. BlitzMax source) it's difficult to know what type the method is
associated to. Generally, I find myself using WinXP
search on the BRL.mod directory.
Is there a better way of doing it?
I realise commenting code will help but I also thought of naming the methods or the variables
e.g. Player_TTest.Create()
as OOP guides I have read suggest that function/method names should be more generic.
How do other people do this in their code and how do you navigate around Bmax source?

I use blide. Has a framework that shows you all general modul sources and OO things.
The Intellisense of Blide takes care that I always get my hand on the field / methods I need :-)

Documentation has been replaced with HotDocs created documentation to make it acceptable for OO style programming (I only use OO where the functionality exists)

Thanks for that Dreamora.
The framework in Blide is very good. I have yet to check Hotdocs but it looks very interesting.
However, do these both help track down what something like...
active.remove
will do if I have not idea what Ttype active is?

Why do you actually need to know what type it is?
I mean beside the possibility to simply scroll up a little.
(when programming in OO, the things are either local to the method you are in in that moment, which won't be too large, or are a field/global of the type. The later one is listed in Blide on the left side using the "local shortcuts" bar)

It seems we use the same method.
When working through large, multi-file sources I find it slow and fiddly to find a method call, scroll through the code or search to find the variable assign, either scroll/search or winxp search to find which file contains the type definition to find the function/method.
I just wondered if I was missing something. Seems that I am not.
Thanks again.
P.S. Just got Hotdocs after messing with the trial for a few mins. It's superb.

On large multifile stuff, I would prefer as well if blide handled the local shortcuts as Protean did: all types etc of the project (or application in case of blide), not only the ones of the actual project.

Beside that, I think its a great app, which is why I try to support it :-)

Hotdocs gives me what I want.
All I have to do is find the method in the alphabetical t.functions list and click the link.
I like Blide as well and would use it more if I programmed more seriously.

@Dreamora! whoy didn't you tell this before:

I'll do it, it's a very good idea!! (obvious, but, you know, sometimes this kind of things are the more difficult to see...)

Why I didn't say ... hmm ... good question ... don't know why.
Haven't used the short cut functionality an the past versions as I only worked with single files are few files where it was not needed ...

But good if something like that will be implemented :-)
