Hi all,

I have an enumeration that provides around 10 states for a class. When I type SetState( STATE_ VA opens the suggestion menu and only shows less than 5 values I have in my enumeration.

In one particular case, VA seemed to display only those states I had used in the past, and no other. The list contained 4 of my enumerated states and no other suggestions was present in the list, only those 4 entries.

I tried using the reparse function, but this didn't seem to help. Is there a designed limit to the number of items displayed?

Thanks,

--Erc

i am guessing you are seeing a suggestion listbox, it has question mark icons. this is "guessing" what you want, and showing you its best guess.

if you press CTRL-SPACE this will be converted to a completion listbox, which will show you everything that matches what you have typed.

btw, would it be possible to make the completion listbox resizeable? I have enumerations names like RENDER_FUNCTION_CLEAR_SCREEN and the listbox only shows "RENDER_FUNCTION_CLE". I can get a tooltip, but a larger list would be appreciated.

Thanks.

apologies for the delay, i have been grappling with my computer *rolls eyes*

on a quick test i cannot reproduce this problem. the various listboxes should automatically resize themselves so that they are wide enough.

Hi Feline,

Weird that you can't reproduce it. Here's a few shots from latest build.

Here, I was typing and VA suggested four values:




I then pressed Ctrl+Space to list all enums, and the listbox is now smaller:



It's not a big deal, but still a bit annoying.

which language are you using? it looks like C++ but it is good to be sure.
what do you have:

VA Options -> Text Editor -> listboxes -> get content from default intellisense

set to?

have you ever seen this problem on suggestion listboxes (the question mark icons), or does it only happen on completion listboxes. have you tried turing on:

VA Options -> Text Editor -> listboxes -> shrink when possible

i am guessing it is off, given the size of the scroll bar on that listbox.

It's checked.

I don't remember seeing the problem on suggestions, no.

Yes, and it made no difference to the visual appearence of the completion listbox.

Let me know if there's anything else I can check.

I think I found it!

At first, I had the same experience as Feline. But, here is what I discovered: Feline, both you and I use Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. If you change to Courier New, you get the drop-down that is too small. Using Bitstream, it is fine.
