Hello,

I have thought about that today that would really be visually nice.

Hi A1880,

VB6 changes the case of variable names ... but I would love to have it back in Jabaco

I totally agree with you in this point, imho this is one of the most important features of VB and I love it either, but of course one can also go without it, as Jabaco does, if you force yourself to spell your variable names correctly.

Quoted

From "a=b+1", VB6 would automatically make "a = b + 1".

i have a love-hate-relationship to this feature. OK somehow it could be useful, but in VB you can not switch this off, and so often it is not possible to have every equalsign "=" below the other like you would do it in mathematic notation.


What about making this feature switchable on/off?

suggestion: (just like the commenting-button) if you select the desired lines, Jabaco could do the automatic formatting, or you could switch it on permanent.

other suggestion, what about to exclude the equal-sign from the automatic formatting with spaces?

The feature is no doubt a necessity for those of us who insist on cleanliness and systematic things, and even switching it off for mathematical issues is desirable at times. There are millions of things one Manuel has to fix, so perhaps we need to help with priorities as well. Would it be a good idea to maintain a list of things that need to be improved or corrected? Manuel can then assign a priority to some of those things and decide to include them in subsequent versions.

Yes, automatic case standardization of variables names (as initially declared within each scope) is an excellent suggestion. Same thing for the suggestion to standardized spacing around "=" symbols regardless of how hastily the programmer coded it. This enhances program readability and organization. There may be other circumstances where automatic cleanup would be useful.

If these ideas could be implemented as selectable features within the IDE, then everyone could tailor their code as they wished.

It seems to me that the autocomplete function activated by the CTRL+Space keyboard combination is not suggesting (as it was in VB6) the user defined variables, functions, procedures or objects names on the form. Otherwise, I enjoyed the editor (I'm still in my honeymoon with Jabaco). Hope I'm proven wrong.
