Overloaded Functions

There are several AutoDoc features for overloaded functions:

Doc-O-Matic automatically combine overloaded functions with the base function by using the Overloaded Function feature.
Doc-O-Matic create a special folder for overloaded functions by using the Overloaded Functions Folder feature.

To create overloaded function folders

On the Manage tab in the Folders group, click Member Folders and then click Overloaded Functions Folders . There are two ways to supply content for these folder topics. You can:
- Manually add documentation to this folder topic. In this case Doc-O-Matic automatically inserts an Overload List section that can contain summary and declaration source of all overloaded functions or a navigation overview of all functions.
- Select the Always create content for member folders check box, on the AutoDoc > AutoDoc Folder page, to create content for all member folders including overloaded function folders.

To combine overloaded functions

Use the Combine Topic or Combine With Topic Properties in the Editor.
Select the Automatically combine overloaded functions check box, on the [General Settings] > Documentation > Topic Processing page, to automatically combine overloaded functions. This option is turned on by default.
If Automatically combine overloaded functions is turned on and a topic exists that describes the overloaded function without arguments this topic is used as combined topic. Notice that you have to create a generic topic with the name of the "base" function, if the parameter less overloaded function does not exist.
