I'm writing C# codes.
When I type "." after the object name, VA displays a listbox with members. That is what I want, and when I type the first letter of the method name, VA focuses the correct member. But at the same time a suggestion listbox jumps out.

I have being used to hitting the ENTER key to select the member or suggestion. but this time the suggestion is selected. After that, I type the "(" symbol after the method name, and the member listbox fills the Method name after the left parenthesis.

Could you please add this logic: when the member listbox comes out, don't show the suggestions. Anyway, the suggestions are of no use at this time, or say, redundant.
Thanks for your great tool!

I strongly believe it's a bug that it is showing two listboxes (suggestion/completion) at once. VAX should really just show one...

Do you have a small code-example that always triggers this behaviour, so we can easily reproduce it?

I'm frequently troubled by this problem as the following codes prove. When typing the second namespace System.Text, after "System." is finished, the listbox of the sub-namespace appears. And when I type "t", the suggestion list appears above.
The same situation when I type "sb.Append".
The problem is, two listbox appears and both wants to auto complete the code.
I write codes in C++ too, when I hit ENTER, the suggestion is accepted and the listbox disappears.
Maybe there are some setting i didn't find, as no one complained about that?^_^


using System;
using System.Text;

namespace Test
{
	/// <summary>
	/// Summary description for Class1.
	/// </summary>
	public class Class1
	{
		public Class1()
		{
			StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
			sb.Append("Testing VA");
		}
	}
}

Hmmm, I just tested your example and I do not get 2 Suggestion/Completion Listboxes...
See:


So maybe it's your options of Visual Assist X?

BTW, I tested it in VS .NET 2003. What IDE (and VAX-Version) do you use?

I use VS.NET 2003, too.
It's really strange. I just cancelled the navigation bar of VA and used that of VS, the problem is solved. Even after I restore my options, the problem does not comes again!
Could you please tell me your options of VA?
Thanks!

Okay, showing just the important ones...

Here we go:







I have disabled the navigation-bar of Visual Studio (VAX usually does that during setup) and use the one of VAX.

I'm using Visual Assist X Build 1409, by the way...
