Method Overloading Issue

Not sure what does the hidden refernece to REALBasic module mean in LR.

There are some items in it that are for internal use (runtime etc) and not callable functions for end users
So they are hidden

Thanks.

And just for a little bit of additional irony, if you type realbasic. and tab in the ide, str() is not one of the methods listed.

not if you just do

realbasic.s<press tab>
autocomplete knows str returns a value
try

  dim s as string = realbasic.s<press tab>

Thanks Norm, I did not think of that. I go to the language reference frequently and frankly use autocomplete very little. I guess that is part of my old school coding experience that dates back to the '70’s where you lived in manuals.
