How to Filter IntelliSense?

IntelliSense is very helpful, but sometimes there are too many items on
the pop-up list.

For example, sometimes I just want to browse methods only. But the list
shows everything including properties, methods, events and so on. Is
there any way to filter them?

Also, somethimes, when I'm using controls that inherits another
control, I only want to see the control's own members. For example,
suppose that there is a table control that inherits UserControl. I only
want to see the table control's own members that I use frequently like
GetRow() or GetColumn() but currently the IntelliSense shows
everything. It is really hard to find what I need in the list. Is this
possible?

Yesterday I typed in some C++ code that called a function with two ints. Intellisense (auto-complete) helpfully told me that the first formal parameter was called "frontLight" and the second "ringLight". It occurred to me that I'm getting some semantic help here on top of the obvious type safety. It seems to me that the existance of this kind of support is tied to the static typing nature of C++. I've always been interested in the...

I'm working on a solution containing about 20 projects. Some of the projects contain class definitions that are used in other of the projects. Most of the time intellisense is working ok, i.e. if I work with objects declared from my own classes intellisense will show me all alternatives (methods and properties from my classes and from the classes they are derived from). But sometimes I will get nothing from intellisense, completely nothing,...

I'm working in VB.Net, using Visual Studio 2003. I have a project, let's call it Foo, that contains common methods, forms, and objects I use in other projects. It compiles as Foo.dll, which I then reference from the project that needs it. Let's say I have a method, Bar, that I want to access from another project. If I add a public module Methods to Foo, and add a public method Bar to Methods, I can call it from my other project a...

Hi, I have a custom ListView-type control that I designed a few months ago. The control is completely stable and functional. However, often, the Visual Studio .NET IDE's Intellisense will lose and not display members not contained inside of Control (which my control is inherited from). Despite this, program execution still works fine; Intellisense just stops displaying these members, is all. If I close down Visual Studio and open it again,...

I was creating my application just fine for the last 3 weeks or so. Then, starting this morning, IntelliSense seems to be having problems. It goes into a locked 'Updating IntelliSense..." mode. When this happens its time to close VS C++.NET, which can only be done via the Windows Task Manager. I tried repairing C++. It did seem to help, but the problem is back a few hours later. I will try creating a new project, copy over source files,...

Hello, I'm using __declspec(property) to access get/set methods as properties (like in C# and VB.NET). Now, the problem is that both the property name and the get/set methods show in the intellisense list. Is there anyway to remove the names of the get/set methods from the intellisense list? Here's an example, I have two methods, one is a get method with the name getText and another set method with the name setText, the name of the...

Hi, I was a user of Visual C# for a while and have gotten used to the Intellisense for that program. I went to try Visual Basic, and the intellisense is so much different. I'll try to make an example: Say I want to write: MessageBox.Show("Hi there") In C#, once I type just a single "M," everything (objects, classes, everything) that begins with M will appear in the intellisense list. Once you get to "Mes" MessageBox will be selected...
