IDEal - New BB IDE - New version

Miscellaneous Forums/Blitz Showcase/IDEal - New BB IDE - New version

Small bug I've noticed with IDEal and the only one I might add (great editor, btw) is with certain advanced data types. When you have types within types and create an array of the container type, the IDE doesn't recognise members of the subtype.

To put things into a better perspective, here's an example of a data type which IDEal would not recognise.
Type menuitem
	Field mnu$
	Field shortcut$
	Field action
;	Field submnu.menuitem[5]
End Type

Type mainmenu
	Field menu$
	Field mnu.menuitem[10]
End Type

Dim mnu_main.mainmenu(6)

mnu_main(0) = New mainmenu

mnu_main(0)\mnu[0] = New menuitem
mnu_main(0)\mnu[0]\mnu$ = "&New" ; This is where it fails

The "\mnu$" following the second type is always listed in red and autocomplete won't recognise it as a variable. If, however, you don't use an array for the container (in my example, mnu_main) it will recognise it without fail. Odd problem, but a minor issue since it compiles perfectly fine.

Great editor, and thanks for sharing!
