Hey guys,

I just downloaded your software and I'm trying to use it with Unreal Engine 4/C++, so far everything is working, except the auto-complete.

It suggests functions/variables, but it just doesn't insert then. I tried double clicking the suggestion, Tab, Space, Enter, nothing works.

Tried ticking all three boxes in the "Commit Selections with" but no luck.

Are you working with Unreal Engine? If so, do you have:

VA Options -> Unreal Engine -> Enable support for Unreal Engine 4

turned On or Off. If this is turned On, is it set to Always, or "When a solution contains a project named UE4"?

If VA had detected you working on an Unreal Engine solution, then your stable include directories above should include the unreal engine directories, but they don't.

Are you ever seeing VA listboxes appearing spontaneously in the editor window? What if you press CTRL-SPACE?

I ran into the same problem as well. And as suggested by Widzy, I closed all the open files in order to get VA working as correctly.

I also tried several solutions: close/reopen solution, reboot computer, reset settings of VA & VS, etc. The only thing that worked was closing all the files.

Note the version I have is above 2248:

Thank you both for the updates. The bug with VA having problems with UNC file paths is fixed in VA 2246 and above. The current version is 2248.

Widzy, since your license does support the current version of VA, it might be worth updating to the latest version, in case this is the problem. This should help to protect you from running into this problem in the future.

In my case it was an issue with UNC path.

I was running Visual Studio / VA on a Windows Virtual Machine, running on my MacOS using Parallels Desktop, so the project files were stored on my MacOS, and Windows was accessing them through local network using UNC, which caused VA to get lost. If I copy the project files to my Windows Local Virtual Drive, it works fine.

To be honest I don't know if they fixed it already, because I simply moved my projects to the Windows Drive.

But I'm glad it's working for you know, and it probably wasn't the same issue as I had.

Okaaaay... so... it's all now working again. I had tried restarting computer, disabling/re-enabling visual assist, all to no avail. What I've just done to get it working again was to close down all open files (I had previously tried the suggestion in the previous post of reducing this to just 2 or 3 open files, which didn't work). Upon opening a file now, VA is magically working again. Huzzzah!

When I restart my computer, it reloads Visual Studio with all previous files that I had open visible in the solution, so I'm guessing that's why restarting didn't work. I assume something has got it's knickers in a twist with the current active files somehow, and the only way to fix it was to clear it all and start again?

Anyway, all good. Back to work now... nothing to see here... :)

(should also say, same thing happens when pressing '.' to access member variables)
Widzy Posted - Feb 14 2018 : 07:21:59 AM
just found another really horrible side effect... when I try to #include a file, at the point where I reach the '.', the auto-complete suggestion box has already appeared... and upon pressing '.', the suggestion box dissappears and my '.' isn't added. So I can't type '.', I'm having to copy and paste an existing one from elsewhere to get it working.

Unfortunately I've had to disable VA now, as It's now actually making me work slower as opposed to helping me out :(

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Documents -> Check for consistent line endings on load

turned On or Off? If this is turned Off, can you please try turning it On, reloading the file, and see if this makes any difference?



Was on, turned off, closed VS, re-opened, reloaded the project, no effect. So I turned back on and did the same, also no effect.

Also, if I copy the info as you asked and paste it here, I can't send the post, the forum returns internal error (maybe because it has 4300 lines?

You can check it here:

Damn, I don't what is happening lol the forum keep messing with my post.. let me try it again, sorry!

So:

1 - I forgot to mention, but I'm running a Macbook Pro with MacOS Sierra 12.6, and the Visual Studio is running in a VM, through Parallels Desktop.

2 - Only the file I'm working one is modified.

3 - I can scroll up and down, and if I reach top or bottom, I can just scroll back.

4 - No effect ---> VA Options -> Enhanced Listboxes -> Source of C/C++ content: Visual Assist OR Default Intellisense

5 - Here is the info you asked:

License: trial
VA_X.dll file version 10.9.2223.0 built 2017.06.22
DevEnv.exe version 15.0.26430.16 Community

Another thought, does changing the setting:

VA Options -> Enhanced Listboxes -> Source of C/C++ content: Visual Assist OR Default Intellisense

have any effect on this problem?

If you try again, are any of the other files shown as modified? They should not, but just double checking.

Can you scroll through the listbox? If you reach the top or the bottom of the list, does the listbox scroll (assuming it shows a scroll bar) or just close?

Can you please go to:

VA Options -> System Info -> Copy Info

and paste the details (from the clipboard) into your reply. This will give us the basic information about your setup.
