Variable type highlighting

[Don_Kirby]

The IDE highlights variable types such as Boolean and PersistentInteger.

It doesn't highlight PersistnentString_10 (bounded), although it compiles and works fine, meaning that I haven't mis-typed.

I've looked in the zbasic.api in the hopes that I could add it, but it seems that variable types aren't in there.

The IDE highlights variable types such as Boolean and PersistentInteger.

The keywords are listed in the file called bas.properties. PersistentString is listed here.

Well apart from the small typo above, you could add PersistentString_10 to the bas.properties file yourself. Of course the problem is that you might also want to add PersistentString_12, PersistentString_13, PersistentString_15 etc. You now I think you can see the reason why it is not listed in bas.properties.

An alternative syntax, shown below, is highlighted.

Code: Select all

Dim ps as PersistentString(10)
