visual studio 2012 - single intellisense file for multiple js function files? -

i have functions1.js, functions2.js , functions3.js. each has function, funca, funcb , funcc respectively. created file called "functions.intellisense.js" , added _reference.js. added reference _reference.js in test.js file.

why doesn't intellisense work?

functions.intellisense.js

intellisense.annotate(funca, function () {     /// <signature>     /// <summary>function a</summary>     /// </signature> });  intellisense.annotate(funcc, function () {     /// <signature>     /// <summary>function a</summary>     /// <param name="message">message</param>     /// </signature> }); 

_reference.js

/// <reference path="functions.intellisense.js" /> 

functions1.js

function funca() {     alert("this function a"); } 

functions3.js

function funcc(message) {     alert("this function c " + mesage); } 

test.js

/// <reference path="scripts/_reference.js" /> func  //<--- expecting show intellisense 

is possible this? i'd couple reasons, first of combining documentation. secondly, i'd able pre-document functions. maybe prepend ideas "todo" if haven't written test.add() function, still put in intellisense file , popup "todo: adds test".

i commented how have setup references - have declare functions before they're passed intellisense.annotate if want them appear in intellisense. function declaration drives intellisense completion list, annotate call updates documentation declared function.

you writing own helper intellisense, example:

function stubfunction(functionname, annotation) {     if (!window[functionname]) {         window[functionname] = function () { };     }     intellisense.annotate(window[functionname], annotation); } 

calling stubfunction create stub function declaration , annotate in 1 call:

stubfunction("funca", function () {     /// <signature>     /// <summary>function important</summary>     /// </signature> }); 

now, if type func in editor, you'll see funca appear in completion list documentation comments.

this stubfunction utility placed in functions.intellisense.js , used in file pre-document functions.
