Code completion in Real basic is really good. If you type in an object
and add a period it comes up with all its elements and properties and
you can then start typing and it will narrow the list down.
I have always wanted a similar thing for applescript but because
applescript doesn't use dot notation for its objects I didn't know how
it could be done.
A few months ago I discovered some thing I never new about (doh! after
5 years scripting) and that was "'s" notation in applescript you can
say
the notation won't help.. AppleScript is weakly typed (a variable's
value may be an object of any class), so when you type "get c's ...",
Script Editor will have no way to know the class of c, and thus it
can't know what elements or properties c might have.. it sounds like
Real Basic is strongly typed (a variable's value can be of only one
class)
