when intellisense appears, if I click anything expect the scroll bar I cannot get any tooltips to apear.

This makes the Ability to filter the Listbox worthless!!!

Also when I click Visual Studio flickers like it lost and regained focus.
Also one time I was able to click and see tooltips. somehow I changed windows without the intellisense closing and then it worked fine...just that one time.

I am seeing the problem with the first Property not being shown in bold, thank you for the clear example:

case=61567

Can you post a code example to show the Pretty listing problem please? I am not sure what to do to reproduce this. VS2010 is not reformatting my test code, even on a machine without VA installed.


The filter the Tooltips for Enum problem, I don't understand what I am supposed to do with the code:

Sub A(ByVal First As AudioPlayMode, ByVal Second As Appearance)
    A(
End Sub


I have copy / pasted this code into VS2010, without VA installed. What am I supposed to see? What am I supposed to do?


Can you post a code sample for typing attributes please.


I cannot reproduce your problem of a parameter coloured as an enum. This is what I am seeing:




You are right, we do have fewer VB users than other languages. But we try to fix VB bugs when we find them.

some times the Item that Was first clicked on
Just without the XML Documentation part of the ToolTip

When Typing something like

Me.Items

When The Tooltip Appears and I have typed the s
If I click on before anything else Items the tooltip will appear but without the XML Documentation


Also, When editing Assist X stops Visual Studio from Using Pretty List
To correct this I just have to make 1 change on the affending line and it gets Formatted

I bet this is because Assist X steals the focus and prevents the editor from formatting

This is A Moderate problem

Another Problem.

Assist X will not filter the Tooltips for Enum

Sub A(ByVal First As AudioPlayMode, ByVal Second As Appearance)
A(
End Sub

Try to get that to work!
I know it has worked for colors and Pens if they where the Second Parameter


It will not ALLWAYS open the Tooltips automaticly when I type < to add an attribute

and it will not Filter the List to only Options that Lead to Attributes like the Normal Tooltips would.

The Syntax Highlighting does always bold the First Property in A Class nor when I use it...and I have Bold Locals on




Public Class Test
Public Property Name As String
Public Property SoldWithinYear As Boolean

Sub New(ByVal IsName As String, ByVal IsBoolean As Boolean)
Name = IsName
SoldWithinYear = IsBoolean
End Sub

End Class


Name is Purple which is the color for Preprocessor Macros
SoldWithinYear is Black

Sub New(ByVal IsName As String, ByVal IsBoolean As Boolean)
IsName = Red IsBoolean = Purple


I think that should be all the note worthy issues in the program I have


It seems like this software does not have many VB users as it seems like all my problems are VB only! (If you can get this Problem...maybe many others have it )

There is definitely a problem here:

case=61492

I am seeing this problem, but not reliably. I am getting a tooltip on some items in the listbox, but not others, and there does not seem to be any pattern to which items have a tooltip, or when.

If you accept an item from the listbox, do you get a tooltip when you hover the item in your code?

If you go into:

VA Options -> Advanced -> Listboxes

and turn off everything except the check boxes for "Selections committed with" does this make any difference?

What about turning off:

VA Options -> Advanced -> Fonts and Colors -> Apply Colouring to -> Listboxes

Version 10.6.1856.0 build 2011.08.24
I downloaded it as an Extension from the Visual Studio Extension Gallery

Windows 7 Home Premium SP 1 64 Bit

Visual Studio 2010 SP 1

I was working in VB.Net with [Pretty List] on

C# Works Fine

If this Would work I think I'd buy the product.
Sadly the coolest feature is not working right!
