Hi Osvaldo,

 yes, the VX editor can learn that type of information in two ways.

 First, if the jobisoft.dll is written in Xbase++ you can add the
Jobisoft.dll
 project as an target to the project which is using the jobisoft.dll - this
way
 the VX editor/project-manager has access to the source-code of your
 DLL - if you are now using the XML doc. comments in your jobisoft.dll
 the editor knows the parameters and return values.

 Second, via a typelib provided for your jobisoft.dll - however, this
approach
 is with the pre-release not available because we are currently working on
the
 docs for the add-on developers.

Hi Osvaldo,

 be assured that the work you are doing with documenting
 your functions/methods is it worth. To give you an idea
 about the future of the XMLDOC feature here are some facts:

 - the final Xbase++ compiler has a switch /XMLDOC which
    generates well formed XML documents from your source-code

 - there will be two utilities
    XMLDOC2TYPELIB
    Used to generate a VX typelib such as the ones provided in the
bin/typelibs directory
    for the XPPRT1.DLL

    XMLDOC2OBJ
    Used to generate a Object-File you can link to your DLLs, so the type
information
    is embedded into your DLL - this is what in .NET terms is referred as an
assembly
    meaning code/data and meta-information in a single binary.

 The XMLDOC feature also allows the Add-On people to provided intelligent
help
 for their products.

 Just some more details,
 Steffen F. Pirsig,
