SCI_CALLTIPCANCEL when going to the next/previous line

[Markus Nißl]

Hello,

the documentation for SCI_CALLTIPCANCEL reads: "This message cancels any
displayed call tip. Scintilla will also cancel call tips for you if you use
any keyboard commands that are not compatible with editing the argument
list of a function."

Is there a reason why the call tip is cancelled automatically when going to
the next/previous line?

The argument list of a function can be spread over multiple lines.

The argument list of a function can be spread over multiple lines.

Call tips that are too persistent must be avoided. Scintilla does not understand the call syntax of languages. Most calls are on one line so that is the heuristic Scintilla uses. It is up to the application to build on this basic functionality if it wants something more.
