legalize	Posted - Jun 12 2013 : 2:32:49 PM I would like a single checkbox in the UI that says "don't show any popup with suggestions, lists, etc., unless I press a keyboard shortcut specifically requesting the suggestions". The most I can find are things that minimize the stuff shown in the suggestion boxes, but nothing that turns the suggestion boxes off entirely unless prompted by a keystroke. Particularly when using Boost.Test macros for test cases, assertions, etc., the popup boxes keep obscuring the code I'm trying to see and I have to keep hitting ESC in order to dismiss the "suggestion" that I didn't ask for and don't want. I really like the refactoring and navigation features of VAX, but this constant distraction of boxes flying up in my face while I'm trying to type code is incredibly annoying.

sean	Posted - Jul 26 2013 : 8:39:09 PM case=75087 is addressed in build 1949. I wasn't able to reproduce the exact problem, but did find a few issues so the problem you were experiencing should no longer occur. VA now minds better attention to the 'Tools -> Options... -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> General -> Parameter information' setting. Finally, there is a new registry value named AugmentParamInfo that defaults to 01. To prevent VA from ever displaying parameter info tooltips while leaving the default Visual Studio Parameter Information setting enabled, exit Visual Studio and change the value of AugmentParamInfo to 00.

legalize	Posted - Jun 29 2013 : 5:09:44 PM I have both of those turned off already, it still shows up.
accord	Posted - Jun 25 2013 : 06:36:04 AM Which version of Visual Studio are you using? Are you seeing these things? You should be able to turn those off by disabling the following two settings: Tools -> Options... -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> General -> Parameter information VA Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Enable automatic Quick Info ToolTips However, I wasn't able to do that with VS2012 so I have put in a bug report for that: case=75087 Are you able to disable it?
legalize	Posted - Jun 23 2013 : 01:05:44 AM #define BOOST_TEST_MAIN #include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp> #include "hello.hpp" #include <sstream> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_EXPECTED_FAILURES(inserts_text, 1) { std::ostringstream dest; hello_world(dest); BOOST_REQUIRE_EQUAL("scooby-doo", dest.str( } As soon as I type the '(' on 'str(' a VAX window pops up. VAX version 10.7.1908.0, but it also happens on my work machine where I am on the latest update.
legalize	Posted - Jun 22 2013 : 10:25:51 PM I have all of those off and there are still times where VAX starts popping up boxes. I will see if I can find an exact set of reproducing steps.
accord	Posted - Jun 12 2013 : 6:41:15 PM You only need 2 options to stop all suggestions. Untick: - VA Options -> Advanced -> Suggestions -> Include suggestions in listboxes - VA Options -> Advanced -> Suggestions -> Include VA Snippets in listboxes This setting will stop member listboxes as well: - Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> General -> Auto list members
