[br]So long as you are seeing a valid and sensible listbox on CTRL-SPACE then the listboxes are working as intended.

Do you have any of the check boxes under:

VA Options -> Suggestions -> Suggestion and Completion lists

turned On?  If not, turning this on may well help.  If you turn On:

VA Options -> Floating Buttons and Icons -> Denote content from Visual Assist with tomato icons

it should be easier to see what is happening in the listbox, since VA suggestions that have been inserted into the listbox will have tomato icons.

I don't understand what you mean about "but only for the code that are already there"?  VA and the IDE can only suggest functions and variables that have been typed, and are known.  If you have VA Snippets turned On, then snippet shortcuts will produce listbox entries to expand the shortcut into the code block, but apart from this, we need to know what to suggest before suggesting it.

Can you explain what you mean here, and what you are seeing, and then not seeing?

andresantacruz	Posted - May 06 2017 : 05:09:50 AM Hello, I'm testing the VissualAssist trial and I'm wondering how I could open the suggestion/enhanced listbox when it close. For example: if I start typing 'FV' the suggestion listbox open up but if I hit space or escape the listbox will close and I couldn't figure out how to open it again without type something in the word 'FV' I was typing. In the documentations I found that hitting ctrl+space should do this, but it doesn't work for me. Any tips? So far the tool seems awesome though!

I am glad the trial is making a good impression on you, we work hard to make VA as helpful as possible Yes, hitting ctrl+space I see the listbox, but only for the code that are already there. When Im typing new code it works as I told. Im using Visual Studio Community 2017 and the latest version of VA with C++ (native).
