Uh. I bet you meant the Hint colors, didn't you? Not there yet but color options for Hints will also be provided. One thing I want changed for IDE is to place Hints in a canvas window in a RichEdit control so the current param may be colored, also a user choice. I worked up a model using Don's syntax from xControls and it is very neat. A right click in the Hint window will dismiss the Hint (as well as entering the close paranthesis in inut data) and F4, or whatever is suitable, will restore it. The only thing I did not finish coding was the ability to move the Hint window around out of the way. Don't mean to step on your toes, Don, answering questions, but I hope you are head-down coding away like heck Judith wrote: > Click the little hammer tool bmp at bottom/right under/next to the > scrollbars to obtain customization window.
