Types for method parameters

[harri]

Hello,

when editing method parameters i would like to define that the parameter is given as reference. (C reference &). One way i can see is to add the '&'  at the end of the type. But i am searching for a smarter way to do that.
Something like using "out" in the "Kind Combobox". There i can define in/out/inout/return.
Maybe there is a way to define another "parameter-kind" lets say "reference".
Maybe there is another way to do that?

Thanks for your Help

Check the Tools | Options | Objects dialog. There's Highlight references setting, as well as an option for prefix or suffix.

My Problem is, that the highlighting is bound to tzhe parameter of kind [out]. That tells my that the parameter something like a "return parameter". But if the parameter is a "in parameter" (kind: [in]) but will be implemented as const reference (const MyClass&) the highlighting does not match because it is not of kind [out].

I'll look into it Harri.

Just a note.

C++ code engineering does not use the parameter kind.  So although your diagram will look right if you set those options.  It won't generate out.  You can change the templates, but then it won't synchronize.
