Description/manual page entry for own Proc/Func inside Shared Modules

Hi

I’m looking to create a sort of library for standard functions for our company to use in multiple robot applications.
I would like to make these inside a shared module, so all task can access these functions.

Since the software in a shared task is not visible in robotstudio, is there a way to:

  1. Show a short description when hovering over the function in light gray as “Update speed override for ongoing movement” when hovering over SpeedRefresh?image.png
  2. Add a maual page entry so we can press F1 on a function to get its info?
    One way that could also make it better is to allow Robotstudio to view/edit a shared module.

Thanks in advance :wink:

Hello there,

Please elaborate on the second point. Who should be creating these manual entries, for which functions, and how should RobotStudio know that there is a manual entry for the given function? (or am I not understanding something?)

Hello,

  1. RAPID code interpreter know where Func/Proc are defined. It can look one line forward if there is a comment block and use it.
  2. We can define a special comment Format in code to define which file to open like:
    !!HelpFile: /a_relative_path_to_help_file/helpfile.html#anchor_name

EDIT: And if RS can do like this MsCode extension:

Okay, thanks.

I’ll run this by R&D and see what they say.

Sorry guys, I’ve been swamped with other tasks and haven’t had the time to check on this topic yet.

I’ll try to squeeze it in asap!

I have forwarded this feature request to the Product Manager of RobotStudio.

I’ll keep you posted on any developments.
