Q: Intellisense

Hiya

I'm using VB.Net and wondering if somebody could tell me how to stop the
Intellisense system doing something rather irritating.

Basically, if I write some code for an object as soon as I write the period
i.e. dot, I get a list of all the members available. Fine! No problem there.
However, suppose, for example, I am writing for the button click event of a
toolbar. When I write

e.

I get a context menu saying that Button is a possiblity - which is what I
want BUT when I press return I get

e.Button()

followed by a carriage return! Unfortunately, in this case, what I want is

e.Button Is tbbAnotherMetho d

etc. That is, I don't want the brackets and CR so I have to backspace to get
back to the Button text!

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance

Press <space> if you need a <space>.

If I understand what your after correctly you just need to use the TAB key instead of the RETURN key

Then don't press return, press space. It will still complete and it will
be a more natural method of coding.

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.

But sometimes I will get nothing from intellisense, completely nothing,...

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,...

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...
