Calltips in pgAdmin SQL Editor

Hi,

Hi,

I believe SQL Editor in pgAdmin wx GUI is Scintilla.
Scintilla supports calltips (as in SciTE with *.api files).

If above is true, is there a way to make SQL Editor support calltips on
user defined commands?

pgAdmin uses scintilla on the SQL query tool. I think I get what calltips
are, not sure what we should do with those on the query tool. Wanna explain
a bit more?

Thanks.

PS: this should better go to pgadmin-support mailing list.

Hi Guillaume,

if not obvious here are some usage examples:

- novice user learning SQL or PL/pgSQL
- user learning PostGIS
- user documenting own functions

I've also attached two images:

[1]: auto-completion PostGIS function
[2]: calltip describing function basics, and providing information about parameters and return values
parameters and return values

Apologies for posting in wrong list, would be great if Administrator could
move the message thread to appropriate group.

Thanks,
Klo

OK, that's what I thought it was. Nobody's working on this yet, AFAICT. We
have completion, but not that kind of things. A patch would be great.

That won't happen. This isn't a web forum :)
