how to highlight keywords in the community IDE

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/how to highlight keywords in the community IDE

hi i installed the community ide and it wont highlight commands, anyone know how i can fix this?

You need to change the source to have highlighted commands.
For example, open BRL.MOD/MAX2d.MOD/IMAGE.bmx and add this
Rem
bbdoc: Timage type
End Rem
Type TImage Extends TData
...

Then REBUILD DOCUMENTATION

If you type Timage, the word should be 'highlighted'

It should just work. If you have a working copy of the standard ide, just copy the CE IDE into the same folder and run it from there.

Rebuild Docs should rebuild the command keywords too, so that is worth a shot...

the community edition doesnt have 'rebuild modules' in the program menu and i copied over the original IDE

the community edition doesnt have 'rebuild modules' in the program menu


Screen from version 200beta2



bye

oh i didnt download the beta, thanks for the help.

ok i downloaded it now, the words highlight but now it fails to show functions in the right hand quick-view column

Hmm..have seen beta2 and beta3, works perfekt.



Are you using linux or mac? If yes it can be a bug so post it in this thread:

bye

im using windows,
types work well in the quick-view column
but functions fail to appear in most cases

when i create a type first and create a function underneath the function fails to appear,
then I put the function on top and it appears.

strangely if I delete either the function or the type they will not go away

EDIT- i posted it in the proper thread now thanks
