    Resolved [RESOLVED] [2008] Adding predictive text help to Overloads

    Ok first off I had no idea what tho title this thread but that is what I settled on..

    My problem is that i have a Overloaded sub and when i call it I get the predictive text pop up to show the posible overloads to use via which variables to pass but I want to add comments at the bottom of that pop up to assist the developer using this sub. Is it possible to add those I know they are there with Microsoft's built in functions and stuff but I cant figure out how to add my own.

    it's called Intellisense and tooltips ... predictive text is something else.
    What you need are XML Comments.... if, on the blank line right before your sub, you hit the tick mark (') (NOT the ` one... but the single tick mark - or single quote if you prefer) three times, the IDE will create an XML comment section where you can enter comments about the sub, it's parameters, include further remarks about using it, etc.
