About Code Template

[yinhuajian]

I created the following code snippet:

[myTest | myTest]
$(AttributesStart)
EnableMakros=true
$(AttributesEnd)
$Param(test1,Sync=1)
$Param(test2,Sync=2)
$Param(test1,Sync=1)
$Param(test2,Sync=2)

When I use myTest, it automatically generates:

test1
test1
test2
test2

And when I modify test1 or test2, the corresponding instances update synchronously.
However, if I change the template to:

[myTest | myTest]
$(AttributesStart)
EnableMakros=true
$(AttributesEnd)
$Param(test1,Sync=1)
$Param(test1,Sync=1)
$Param(test2,Sync=2)
$Param(test2,Sync=2)

Using myTest now generates:

test1
test1
test1
test1

Why is this happening?

What version of Lazarus are you using? When I call the template (for trunk and 3.8), I get:

Template 1:

Code: [Select]

test1
test2
test1
test2

Template 2:

Code: [Select]

test1
test1
test1
test1

Lazarus：3,6
FPC：3.3.1

You want the 2nd example to be

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]

1. $Param(test1,Sync=1)
2. $Param(test1,Sync=1)
3. $Param(test2,Sync=3)
4. $Param(test2,Sync=3)

or

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]

1. $Param(test1)
2. $Param(test1,Sync=1)
3. $Param(test2)
4. $Param(test2,Sync=3)

You got 4 times "$Param". They are numbered from 1 to 4.

So you want the last (4th "Param") to link to the 3rd.

From the help (if you click "insert macro")

  if param("foo") > 0 and param("foo",sync=1) < 99 then
Inserts 2 linked cells, editing either one, will change the other one too.
The value "1" refers to the position of the other "param()", so if there are more params:
  if param("bar") and param(foo) > 0 and param(foo,sync=2) < 99 then
The 2nd and third are linked (the 3rd refers to "2").
