No incremental search in auto-complete list?

Integrated Development Environment issues like IntelliTips, Resource Editor, and the ClassViewer (with the Tags tab selected in the Workspace Manager).

No incremental search in auto-complete list?

Postby bobh » Fri Jun 15, 2007 10:06 pm

Let's assume I have several functions in a C++ class which begin with "s" ... for example, setThis(), setThat(), etc. One would expect to be able to type the letter "s" and have the selection move down to the first function which begins with "s". But the list just closes up! Apparently I have to use the mouse or the arrow keys to navigate to the desired item, then hit TAB or ENTER...is that the normal behavior for the auto-complete list??

This can rapidly become more trouble than it is worth...

I did not have any problem here with the latest version of UE (v13.10-german) and some versions before. The more letters I type, the less items remain in the list.
Then I can press TAB or ENTER.
So it works for me.

Did you try it in UEStudio, too? The auto-complete (or "IntelliSense") works differently than in UltraEdit because of the class hierarchies which need to be parsed. In UltraEdit, only the keywords from the word file and previously typed words are shown.

Oh, sorry, I thought it was an UE-issue.
You are right. In the latest UEStudio-version it closes up!
-> report this to IDM.
