setting arguments for function [message #729474]

Hi all,

I'm trying to define my predicate with the option for users to enter the arguments by tabbing through it. After searching a while I found that it is not recommended to define this in the "myDSLProposalProvider" java class because then tabbing through the arguments is not possible. Another option was to create a template proposal but then I got other problems. The definition:

the name doesn't work of course, yet I would like to have in the dropdown box the names of the available predicates. (-> working this out lead me to the content assist, but I'm trying to avoid it because others on this forum tried it before and got stuck)
Another problem is that the arguments are not dynamically (always the same amount of arguments...)

My question is if anyone succeeded this feature and would like to share it?

Best Regards,
Phil

I continued by using Content assist, (I dunno how to fix it with template proposals only)

I got the following working:

The problem that still occurs is the tabbing through the arguments.
It is done most of the time with templates I'll try fixing it by using custom template-classes, or is this not possible? see: http://blogs.itemis.de/stundzig/archives/750

After whole day breaking my head about it, I got it Smile

!
Pressing CTRL+SPACE shows a dropdown box with a list of predicates, selecting a predicate (e.g. Neighbour) gives me a template proposal for the arguments where you can tab through:
