Help for FF_Functions

[Christian Weilguny]

Hi,

some months before I bought FF3 I had installed a demo from FF2.9.
There was an own Helpfile for the FireFly-Functions. This was great!
In FF3 I'm missing this file.

I have added the FF2.9 functions helpfile to the tools menu, for there is some helpful information in it.

(This is of course not the answer you were looking for.)

There is no dedicated help file for the functions. The "help" is built into the Library itself under the "Description" tab.

I have often wished that the Libraries Description would also have an example to show the syntax of the function more clearly.   For instance:

Code Select Expand


   Gets the Check State Of a CheckBox Of a ListView item

   hWndControl:  Handle Of Control (e.g. HWND_FORM1_LISTVIEW1)   
   iRow:         The zero-based row To retrieve.

   Returns:     %TRUE If checked Or %FALSE If unchecked


add an example:

Code Select Expand


     Example:       rc = FF_ListView_GetCheckState (HWND_FORM1_LISTVIEW1)


For a someone new this might add the clarity they need. Plus it would make it easier to cut and paste.  Example code for each function would be a big help to new users, IMO.

Another feature I would like  to have would be to be able to highlight a FF function and press F1 to go directly to the information about that function in the function library.

I agree, that would be helpful.
Ever use a little program called API-Guide? http://allapi.mentalis.org/agnet/apiguide.shtml No longer being updated but it has lots of VB examples that are still very useful.
