Hi Clemens,

This task is performed by SelectionEngines, and they are called via
codeSelect(int offset, int length) method in ISourceModule.

Subject: [Dltk-dev] Getting type information?

Hello everyone.

Does DLTK offer a standard mechanism to ask for the type of, for 
example, a variable? Code example:

###
1: var x = "";
2: function getX() {
3:   return x;
4: }
5:
6: var y = getX();
7: y.
###

Or:

###
1: var x = "";
2: var y = x;
3: y.
###

I would like to be able to ask DLTK for the type of y in line 7 of the 
first example, or in line 3 of the second example, and get "String" or 
so as a reply.

I suspect that at the moment the DLTK API does not provide access to 
this information in the engines. Is that correct?



Later, I would need to declare APIs and have the respective DLTK engines 
use these "other" API declarations in their parsers. That way I could 
make the Adobe InDesign API known to the DLTK JavaScript IDE. Has this 
been considered yet?



With best regards
