lib_team	Posted - Sep 21 2006 : 05:41:20 AM Hello, when I write some code in function, the suggestion list appear and a default choice is select by VA. If I press Tab or Enter the select choice is "write". But If I write some code outside of function (in header for example), the suggestion list appear but no default choice is made by VA. So when I press Tab or Enter, nothing append (except a tab character or a carriage return). I must use bottom or up key to select a suggestion and after press Tab or Enter. To reproduce it, just create a simple projet and write this code : class CTest { }; typedef CTe // We want to write "typedef CTest CMyTest" for example When you type "CTe" after typedef, a suggestion list appear with "CTest" but no choice is made by default ! So I can press Tab or Enter ! There is a issue ?

feline	Posted - Oct 03 2006 : 09:40:15 AM the problem with this idea is that VA will no longer behave how people expect. suddenly Enter will no longer accept the suggestion some of the time, but there will be no visual clue to tell the user why this is.
lib_team	Posted - Oct 01 2006 : 06:56:54 AM If you added this feature has an option, it is possible to validate suggestion only if Tab was pressed and not Enter (for this case and/or for other case). It will be great because "Enter" is very use in declaration to go create new line. For example, in the case with "class CTest", if an other class is named "CTestLong", when we type "class CTest", VA will suggestion "CTestLong". If I type Enter, I want a new line. If I type Tab I want VA replace CTest by the suggestion CTestLong. thanks

If it is just: bool CTe Then that looks like a definition in progress - so VA will not select any items in the suggestion list.
Ivo	Posted - Sep 24 2006 : 10:18:16 PM BTW, another case when it seems to fail is: class CTest { static bool g_bBool; } bool CTe[st]::g_bBool=false; Ivo
sean	Posted - Sep 22 2006 : 03:30:26 AM When you are creating a definition (or when VA thinks you a typing a definition) suggestion lists appear without any item selected. This is by design. We had many more complaints when there is a selection - that complaint was that you had to press escape before you could type a tab or press enter to break the line since tab/enter would insert whatever was selected and change the definition you were typing. case=2531 is an enhancement request that would optionally make VA always select an item in suggestion lists regardless of whether or not you are typing a definition
jpizzi	Posted - Sep 22 2006 : 02:30:17 AM This is by design. The choices in suggestion lists are quite a bit more likely to be wrong, so we do not have one selected by default. Only when the confidence of being right is high enough do we select an item from the list. Now, don't ask me how we determine the confidence level. I don't have that much insight.
