Auto Completion AddressOf - Prototype Insertion

AddressOf Prototype Insertion (v10.50.065+):

Show +Proc(parameters) as the first auto completion item.
Insert prototype when selected.

Select +TimerCallback(...) and type comma. Which inserts "TimerCallback" and the empty prototype for TimerCallback.

The completed sample script follows:

'#Language "WWB.NET" Imports System.Threading Private Sub TimerCallback(ByVal state As Object) Debug.Print Now End Sub Sub Main Using t As New Timer(AddressOf TimerCallback, Nothing, 250, 500) For i As Integer = 1 To 5 Wait 1 Debug.Print i Next End Using End Sub

Sample output:

Conclusion

Insert the correct prototype for the parameter receiving the AddressOf result. Avoid needing to look up or remember the prototype's definition.
