Hi, having a problem with auto-complete in a C++ project using Visual Studio 2015.

I type in the start of variable name and it gives me a list of suggestions to complete it, I select the suggestion I want, hit tab, and nothing happens, it just closes the suggestion box.

I've tried clicking the suggestion and hitting enter as well with no effect.

Not sure what to do at this point, I've tried resetting all of my Visual Studio settings in case that was the issues but it hasn't solved anything.

Hello WASDMagician,

Please ensure the following two checkboxes are checked (enabled):
( VAssistX | Visual Assist Options | Listboxes | Selections committed with: Tab )
( VAssistX | Visual Assist Options | Listboxes | Selections committed with: Enter )

If they are already enabled, sometimes toggling them off, and then on again helps.

If that does not help your issue, please try temporarily disabling third party applications such as anti-virus software.

Are you using any other Visual Studio plugins besides Visual Assist?
