SciTE - au3.keywords.properties


Recommended Posts

I wrote myself some user defined functions and liked to make them be known by SciTE. So I placed my *.au3 file under <AutoIt3>\Include and changed the files <AutoIt3>\SciTE\api\api.au3 for the tool tips and <AutoIt3>\SciTE\au3.keywords.properties for the syntax highlighting. The tool tips now work well, but the syntax highlighting doesn't. What's gone wrong?

Wolfgang,

Add the UDF function names in this file (assuming you have a standard install). You may have to create it:

"C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\Properties\au3.userudfs.properties"

Use this syntax:

au3.keywords.user.udfs=_foo_func_1 _foo_func-2 \
    _foo_func-3

Jos put this in a while ago so it was easier to decide where to put the UDF names - and so they would not get overwritten with each new install.

This is what you need.

I tried both: I Manually created an au3.userudfs.properties file an I let it UDFManager generate. Both output was the same, but none did work.

I use SciTE, that comes along with the installation of AutIt 3. Maybe this not what you call the "full version"? So I tried downloading SciTE4AutIt3.exe or SciTE4AutIt3.zip, but both were blocked by our Anti Virus Software that fund "PUS: Monitor.Win32.Hooker.s".

I try to contact my administrator because of the virus.

Wolfgang,

Yes, I believe you need the 'full' version - sorry, I should have mentioned it above.

Do try and get your admin to permit the download - it is an excellent package and really helps maximise AutoIt's power.

Melba23,

today I tried the next time, again without success. I downloaded SciTE4AutoIt3.exe (is it the "full version"? it's size is 4.22 MB) and installed it, resulting in man more files under C:\Programe\AutiIt3\SciTE. Then I wrote the file au3.uderudfs.properties and placed it in the subdirectory Properties:

au3.keywords.user.udfs=_inilesen _inilesenabschnitt _inilesenabschnittnamen _iniloeschen _inischreiben

Again, after starting SciTE, none of these functions were highlighted. Just for fun I edited the file au3.keywords.properties and therein added my functions to "au3.keywords.udfs". Even that didn't work!

Melba23,

now it works! I forgot to add my functions to api\au3.user.calltips.api. Since I did this, syntax highlighting and tooltips work well. Thank you very much and sorry for m confusion!
