Win32Lib: IDE suggestion: list lib functions in editor? &

David,

Your IDE sure makes starting to craft a program a lot easier!  I like how
you have made "lists" of the controls and events in the code editor; having
the skeleton of a procedure auto-write in the editor really helps,
particularly if you're not sure whether there are any parameters for a
procedure or not, or what they are.

In fact, those lists are so helpful, I wonder if you could consider
similarly adding a list of all your library's FUNCTIONS & PROCEDURES
(categorized?) to the code editor, so they could similarly auto-write in on
select?  Real programmers probably don't need it, but I know it would help
me, & maybe others would find it useful too.

It might also be helpful if you had a help "jump" from the IDE to your HTML
doc ( & to Ad & Wolfgang's tutorial, and even to the main Euphoria
documentation)??

Documentation errors:
Unless I've misunderstood something, you have described "setIndex" as a
function in your documentation, but it's a procedure in Win32Lib.ew 0.44e.

Also, in the HTML doc, you reference jumps to "#MLETEXT" in 3 places, but
it's not "named", so nothing happens; since you have named "#MLEEDIT" in
other places, I suspect that's what you meant to jump to for "#MLETEXT" ?

And, as Caballero Rojo has mentioned, your example for setPenColor() is
actually a copy of the example of setTextColor().

Program errors:
The Tooltips in your IDE identify the LeftJustifiedLabel as a SLE, and the
SLE as a MLE.

And, RightClick is selectable as an event in IDE, but isn't yet implemented
in Win32Lib?
