VS Code Extension: Show 4D Documentation

October 19, 2023

Product

4D v20 R3 comes with a new Visual Studio Code editor feature thanks to the 4D-Analyzer extension — the “Show 4D Documentation” feature!

Even though you’re good at understanding 4D commands and classes, sometimes it’s helpful to see the complete information when working with code in VS Code.

Starting from 4D v20 R3, it’s simple: move your mouse over the command, class, or class function you want to know about. A tooltip with a description will appear. At the bottom of this tooltip, there’s a link that says Show documentation.

If you click on this link, your computer’s default web browser will open, and you’ll see the complete information about that command or class in the 4D documentation.

 

We constantly strive to provide our users with the best possible experience, and we encourage you to share your thoughts and feedback on the 4D forum. Your feedback helps us better understand your needs and continuously improve our products and services.
