Hi,
I understand the idea of hiding unused symbols and showing them only on CTRL+Space, but with some SDKs this is a really big pain, almost for every new class that I'm typing I need to press ctrl+space.
Is there a way to enable showing all the symbols always without pressing ctrl+space?

ok, didn't know its possible
Thanks

Strange, after restarting VS with loggin on, the suggestion appears back for CL_...
should I wait/work till it will disappear again or maybe cache already created. As I understand logs can get big for a big time.
Or should I send the logs of the working run?

------

I tried again with logging disabled, it doesn't show up.

------

after a few tries looks like even with logging disabled on some startup doesn't appear

Not sure how to reproduce, looks like a random event.
I'll try to restart VS many times and see if I can catch it with logging on

------

After 10 restarts
is working now with logging on an off.
not sure how to reproduce,
I'll try to make a new project and to the same setup for clanlib includes/lib maybe it will appear again

--------

here are some screenshots:
http://i46.tinypic.com/znr7gk.png this is after restarts
http://i46.tinypic.com/2d1s9yr.png this is after creating a new project

Seems that VA creates suggestion cache much slower than VS
because if I press CTRL+Space in the new project, everything appears.

Anyway it took a few hours in VS till everything appeared as now

So is there a way to force VA to cache the suggestions with some loading bar, so you can start working after everything is done rather than being a background process?

----------

Opened again the new project, and now after typing the CL_Out
in the status bar VA showed that it processes the files, and full suggestion appears here too.
Still not sure why first time I've set logging back to 0 it didn't showed up. Maybe I had need to wait a few minutes after adding include folders

If you mean Include VA... then yes, its enabled
everything is enabled in that tab except bits of code

Tested again,
I need for example
CL_OutlineAccuracy

typing CL_Out
nothing shows up even I tape everything until I press CTRL+Space
there are at least 12 classes with CL_Out*

Strange, by default it was checked, I unchecked and check it again and pressed OK, now seems to work almost (still with smart filtering) but at least classes that you type are listed and unfiltered as you type most of the word
adrianchiq Posted - Dec 19 2012 : 09:33:34 AM
Thanks for response, but its already checked.
The programming language is C++

as an example is ClanLib SDK
95% CL_* class is not listed in smart suggestion.

The answer depends on your IDE and programming language, but for now try turning On:

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Auto list members

this should help.
