I believe I finished the functions files of the Harbour and I have a good news: I was able to do two new styles (not counting whith one I had already postedn new different ones). For this reason I decided to post both ways and I will describe each of It:

1. Style with the parameters included in the return, allowing leverage variables and know the syntax.

xBase functions with parameters including.rar

2. Style eprofissional much more elaborate, and it returns the function name in "CamelCase", only the syntax displays on the screen and follow the positioning of each parameter to measure which is added, also brief description of each function.

a. Please note that as you type the function name (in this case the first 3 characters), it will open a ComboBox with pre-existing functions, showing only the name (without parameters)

b. And when typing the parenthesis [ the character "(" ] will then show the syntax and parameters with brief description.

c. There functions over which a syntax is displayed differently. See pictures below.

The auto-completion (file "xBase functions displaying syntax.rar") is only for "functions" so it was not possible to add Harbour commands. Because Notepad++ can enable the syntax thru user typing a " ( " at start and a " ) " at end which features a function with parenthesis.

Installation Instructions:
                                    Choose one of the two rar files attached and unpack it to where NOtepad++ is installed. By default is at %APPDATA%\notepad++\plugins\APIs folder. Where is %APPDATA% please considere as "Program Files" (in English) where Notepad++ appoint to be installed at first installation by default but most of us we have at sub-folder where HMG is installed. Example: C:\hmg.3.1.5\Notepad++\plugins.
If there are syntax errors or any errors you notice, please indicate the type and function of the rar file in this topic, so it can be corrected and improved by everyone.
I'm sure you will like it, because it will be of great assistance in the preparation of your source code. :D

If you failed to do, let me know.

In Win7 there probably you will use in following path:

<user>\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++

Well I know is all these tests have been done under Notepad++ version 6.4.5, probably lower version is with some bugs as in Notepad forum have been reported.

Remarks: At dot prompt type:

echo %APPDATA%

just to know where as sub-folder Notepad++ is.

I discover that the AutoCompletatión Funcion is Case Sensitive, so for example if you tupe "sub": nothing appers, but, if you type SubS the appers the information
