I've noticed this on all the VA X builds. The command completion using the tab key is not working correctly. I'm using VS.NET 2003 on Windows XP SP1. To reproduce, create a new C# console application. In the Main() method, start typing "string". When you type "str", you should see the VA window listing "String", "string", and "struct" with "string" highlighted in gray. If I press the tab key, the VA window remains but the editor is tabbed. If I press the return key, the VA window remains but the editor adds a new line. If I press <ctrl>+<space> then the editor is updated with "String" even though the windows has "string" highlighted.
The part that is frustrating is that if I complete the line as follows:
String j;
and then start a new line and type "j.", I get all the string methods available. But the tab key now works. Has anyone else seen this? This is driving me crazy to have the VA intellisense only working half the time with the keyboard. I can always use the mouse, but my typing productivity goes down the drain...
Thanks,
Derek |

| I can reproduce this every time I try. |

This sounds like a problem we had several builds ago. We cannot reproduce it in the current build. If two people can make it happen, obviously something is broken.
Do you have other add-ins or packages installed?
Anything unusual about the settings associated with your keyboard? Keyboard emulation?
Does the behavior depend on the settings checked on our Completion tab? We're referring to the three under "Display suggestion listboxes..." |

I do not have any other add-ins running.
I do have Wise Installer installed.
I don't have anything setup for my keyboard in the way of emulation, but I do have VAX set to double the effective typing rate.
Settings on the Completion tab
Display suggestion: checked
Tab: checked
Return: checked
Any character: not checked
Suggest bits: checked
Open completion listboxes: checked
List non-inherited: not checked
Bold non-inherited: not checked
Shrink member listboxes: checked

I have 3 additional add-ins:
* CodeSmith explorer (http://www.ericjsmith.net/codesmith/)
* Measurement Studio (www.ni.com)
* STC Generator (http://weblogs.asp.net/pgreborio/archive/2003/07/14/10040.aspx)
My keyboard setup (from Start Page Profile):
Profile: Visual Studio Developer
Keyboard Scheme: [Default Settings]
Window Layout: Visual Studio Default
Under Tools | Options | Environment | Keyboard:
Keyboard mapping scheme: [Default Settings]
I can't seem to open the Visual X Assist Options under the Assist menu. When I click on it nothing happens.
The only other OS keyboard setting is under Control Panel | Accessibility Options | Keyboard | Use Toggle Keys. I like to hear a beep when I hit the Caps Lock key.
Is there anything else I should check?
Thanks,
Derek |

Not displaying the options dialog smells like a bug in VSNet that prevents multiple addins from being able to see Events. We thought we had a fix for this a few builds ago.
Do any of the VA Toolbar buttons work? Mind disabling load on "Startup" for each of the other addins via the "Tools/Addin Manager" and restart the ide to see if this fixes the problem?
MrCode, does the options dialog work for you? |

I was able to prevent the STC add-in from loading, and it took a little more to get NI's Measurement Studio add-in unloaded, but now I can see the Visual Assist option dialog.
What can I do to help? |

Did disabling NI fix the Tab problem?
Went to www.ni.com, but could not find a trial to download. Enabling it again might change the load order, allowing VA to load first, this might fix the problem.

I'll have to check on this later - I'm buried in work. I did find that the tab completion seems to be working correctly now - go figure!
I'll let you know as soon as I have to chance to try re-enabling the Measurement Studio add-in. BTW, there is an evaluation available, you can try this link:

Well, I enabled NI's Measurement Studio and the tab completion stopped working. I disabled it and tab completion works now. How about that!
Any ideas? |
