In any of the languages, with the exception of VB (which doesn't
have that call directly implemented), typing 'GetUser(' would prompt
me with a tool tip containing the parameters and types from the
Windows.h definitions. In the Cocoa world you have to dig through
poorly indexed, HTML or PDF materials.
Actually, I just double-click the function name and hold down the
command or option keys, and voila, I get either the header for it, or
the HTML help reference entry. I admit, it's a little hidden, but
it's there, and it's documented.
I would love to know how fast it works for you. It takes about 10
seconds to look up a request in the documentation on my PowerMac
2x800Mhz 512MB RAM machine. Requesting the declaration in the header
file takes considerable less time, and fortunately most of the time I
merely need to be reminded of the parameters to pass a function so
this works well. It would be nice if the documentation was faster.
Come to think of it, just browsing the documentation is rather slow,
too.
The issue is that the behavior can't be forecast. Sometimes it will
open the header, sometimes it will launch a find process.
So it can be either quite fast or either quite slow and leading to no
interesting result.
