Android Question B4X Keywords in Smart String Literal not Working

[Jack Cole]

I am trying to set up a smart string literal that contains B4X code within it. The problem is that the IDE does not appear to be parsing it correctly (not seeing it as a string). See the following code and attached image for what actually occurs in the IDE.

Dim CodeString As String = $"
'enable or disable all buttons in a list
Sub SetButtonsEnabled(ButtonsList as List, Enabled as Boolean)
    For Each b as Button in ButtonsList
        b.Enabled=Enabled
    Next
End Sub
"$

Any ideas?

This is a by design limitation related to the IDE performance. The IDE parser needs to build the page structure as fast as possible and handling this edge case would have a big impact on performance.

Change Sub to ~Sub or something like that and replace it:

"$.Replace("~Sub", "Sub")
