e.g. I type Win32 API "ShowWindow" and "(", should auto
list all system macroabout "ShowWindow",
like this,

WannabeeDeveloper, thank you very much!
but, e.g.
ShowWindow(..., nCmdShow); "nCmdShow" is SW_XXXXXX .
MessageBox(..., uType); "uType" is MB_XXXXXX .
CreateFileMapping(..., flProtect, ...); "flProtect" is PAGE_XXXXXX .
CreateFont(..., fnWeight, ...); "fnWeight" is FW_XXXXXX .
......
SW_XXXXXX, MB_XXXXXX, PAGE_XXXXXX, FW_XXXXXX ......
too many! we can't remember all! so, my suggestion is good.
otherwise, we must refer to MSDN.

This is very nice.
If add this function, programmers like me would work much more efficiently.
I vote for it. |

| Probably very difficult to implement, how would VAX be able build the list? There's no way to know, except for reading documentation for each function call. VAX can't hold a database for all possible functions holding all possible flags. The flags are usually declared in #define statements, it would have been easier had it been enum declarations, but there's probably a reason for it's not... |

Don't you have a feeling, that XSQT2000, daienming and leaveye are from the same team (if not the same person)?

Well, what comes next?
"I have a question in my MessageBox-Text, so I want VAX to automagically add a MB_ICONQUESTION..."
"Since the Z-Order-Parameter for my SetWindowPos-Call is NULL, I want VAX to automagically add SWP_NOZORDER..."
Anyway, VAX may help you become more efficient, it will not generate code for you!
And yes, I'd say "looking at the function and then offering constants only valid in the current scope" is generating code!
Not to mention the CPU-Load overhead this would generate...

While this answer may sound harsh to you, I'd say: Then learn to remember them!
All you need to remember is MB_ (for MessageBox) or SWP_ (for SetWindowPos) or SW_ (for ShowWindow) or... do you notice something?  |
