I just feel little strange about why the suggestion list pop up with one
item selected but sometimes not.

Especially the second case, I assume I can select the last item by pressing Page-down but the IDE text-editor get down the page for me.
shouldn't it be consistent ?

Suggestions only have focus when VA is fairly confident the suggestion is useful. If VA thinks you are declaring a new symbol name then it can still produce suggestions, but they won't have focus, since we are not sure if the suggestions are really useful when you are declaring a new symbol name. You can change this behaviour, as explained in this FAQ entry:

http://docs.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W350

Page down not moving you in a suggestion list is by design, since suggestions pop up a lot, and we don't want to trap you in these listboxes when you are trying to get something else done. You might find this FAQ entry interesting for dealing with suggestion listboxes and keyboard focus:

thanks very much.
But the link info may a little obsolete.I cann't find the "SuggestionSelect" or the like.
I have tried "SelectImplementation" changed from "01" to "02".restart the IDE.

It works; Ang hope this help the others.

I have updated the documentation, if you cannot find the key "ListboxSelectionStyle" then you simply need to create a new REG_BINARY value and set it to the setting you want.

The "SuggestionSelect" key is for something else, it is documented here:

http://docs.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W496

I suspect what you are seeing is when VA thinks the suggestions should have focus, but you should still see places where suggestions don't have focus.
