Disable Hints in Result Window

W4GNS · Post by **W4GNS** » Fri Jan 14, 2011 2:55 pm

Is it possible to disable hints in the results window, without disabling the result window ?
I have read through the help file on this matter, am I guilty of reading too fast ?

The sort answer is no - but if a few people make the request I will look at adding it for the next release.

David, Thanks for the reply. As I write this, 39 people have visited this topic, and not one have spoken up, so looks like I'm very much a minority, And I completely understand not adding the (feature?) for just 1 single request. I'll learn to live with it

Best Regards

It's not as though this is the most active forum...

I, for one, would like a way to remove a hint, perhaps something akin to
#hints on
... stuff! ...
#hints off

or something to that effect.

Honestly though, most of the hints are useful. Speaking of useful hints, if you're ever bored and decide to throw in a hint that says "you never called sub/function x" in relation to the primary code block, that would be cool too.

What "hints" are you all talking about? Am I missing out on something?

if you're ever bored and decide to throw in a hint that says "you never called sub/function x" in relation to the primary code block, that would be cool too.

Please don't add that one. That would generate 1000's of messages.

I was also going to point that out - adding a hint for non called subs and functions would generate quite a few messages!

No no, you mis-understand--only in the "Program" code block, not including modules and the un-called subs/functions in modules do not end up in the final code anyhow.

The unreferenced ones in the "Program" block get optimized out too, so what's the point?

Ah, if that is the case then implementing my suggestion would serve no purpose. I see.
