Intellisense has gone whacky

Intellisense has begun to act up. It has worked great until now. It just
started that when I type the first letter of a word it immediately adds a
set of parenthesis after the letter. If I try to backspace, I can delete the
close parenthesis but when I get to the open parenthesis it retypes them
both and puts the cursor at the end of the line. It doesn't matter which
character I type on the line, it always does this weird behavior. I have
done a virus scan and adware scan using two different tools with no problems
found.

I realize I could disable Intellisense but to me it is a godsend but will do
for now what I have to to keep working. Any ideas sure would be nice. TIA,
Tim.

BTW - I just discovered that this behavior only happens after I run then
break the program. When I first load Visual Studio 2005 and type it works
fine but then wigs out after a break. Suggestions greatly appreciated.

I tried to do a repair install but that didn't work so I did a (painful)
complete uninstall/reinstall and the problem (plus a few others) is solved.

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.

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...

Ok now my intellisense has gone t's-up again - I also cannot use undo/redo in the editor. I deleted the NCB file in case that was corrupt but no poonanas, its still fubar (how many explitives can I use without actually swearing!?). My next "solution" is to reinstall Visual Studio 2003 ;) I'm not asking for a solution here, just sharing my frustration with the group (unless you have one that is....).

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,...

Somehow, I've managed to shut off Intellisense in VB.Net 2005. I've gone into Tools|Options, selected Text Editor and turned "Auto List Members" and "Parameter Information" on for both Basic and "All Languages", but still I get nothing. If I go into Edit|Intellisense, all the selections are disabled. How do I get Intellisense back on? Some setting somewhere I am lacking. Thanks

Hi, as of last Friday VC8's intellisense started to completely block one CPU (our developer machines have two) without getting anywhere. This is a 1.2MLOC solution with 28 projects. We have already found http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx?feedbackid=5b68ae70-03ea-47b6-84ea-d18cafc735ff which mentions deleting NCB files as a workaround. That doesn't work here. Then there's...

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...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
