Show public/published distinction in code-completion popup?

Recommended Posts

I am using the CnWizards version of "Intellisense" (code-completion) as it has several advantages with respect to the native Delphi code-completion (see the screenshot). However, both code-completion popups lack the ability to show whether a selected property is published or public:

Or is there a distinction which I do not see?

Also, look at how other IDEs show the documentation in the code completion popup:

Why the Delphi code completion popup does not show the documentation in the code completion popup?

 

Is there a Delphi IDE add-in which displays the documentation in the code completion popup like in the above screenshot?

Where did you get this? Marco Cantù answered at the Quality Portal:


"RAD Studio IDE offers Help Insight, which can grab XMLDoc documentation from the source and displays is alongside in a very similar way. The limitation is we don't have large coverage in terms of XMLDoc."

 

Stefan, maybe you confuse something here. We are talking about SOURCE CODE DOCUMENTATION.

However, the CnWizards Code Input Helper seems to have options to show source code documentation:

But I don't see any source code documentation in the CnWizards Code Input Helper, although there IS documentation in the source code where I am testing this.

That was my point - no need to shout.

Nobody is shouting. We talk about source code documentation here.

Writing entire words in uppercase (even more so if colored red) is considered shouting on the internet

I  often write in uppercase without having the intention to shout.

Even if it's not your intention, it's still considered shouting, because nobody but you knows your intention.
