How do i add my own UDF?

[AndyS01]

I have a library of related functions that I want to make into a UDF so I can have tool tips, function parameters, etc, but I cannot see how to do this.

You put all your functions into 1 au3 file.

example myfuncs.au3

you have the au3 in the same directory of your script, or use full/reletive path to it, if its in same folder, add this to your script

#include 'myfuncs.au3'

[AndyS01]

But that doesn't make it a UDF. What I'm trying to do is have the editor automatically prompt me for the correct parameters for my functions (that are all in myfuncs.au3) when I type the function name. I get this for the various UDFs (like FileOpen, _ArrayAdd, etc.) but not for my functions.

That does make it a UDF. What your asking for is 'Call Tips' in your editor, which has nothing to do with AutoIt. You will have to check the help file of your editor. I am assuming you are using Scite, and if so, open the Scite Help File. and see sections:

Scite/AutoIt3 - User CallTips &

Scite/AutoIt3 - User UDFs Syntax Highlighting.

Those 2 files should help you with what your looking for.

You have to add the list of your functions to the editor to have it know about them. It's not done automatically. I don't use SciTe but those that do can tell you the relevant files to modify to add those functions into the intellisense in SciTe.

Func Something()
    Return False
EndFunc

There. Save that as an .au3 and it is a UDF in the sense we use the word on this forum. What you want is User CallTips. Look it up in the SciTE help under the help-menu in SciTE.

And install SciTE4AutoIt3 if you haven't (called "AutoIt Script Editor" on the AutoIt download page)

Edit: too slow

Thank you very much! The answer was to add my function info in the au3.user.calltips.api file.
