VA properly shows 'defined' in the completion list, but for some reason the only thing that appears in the suggestions list is DefineDosDevice.

In an empty project try writing:
#if defined
and you'll see

I would suggest adding an autotext entry, perhaps the shortcut #ifde and the code #if defined($end$)

A slight cheat, it is true, but still this should be a very effective solution.

Should I write an auto-text entry for

#if !defined(AMI_LINGO_NAME) \ || !defined(AMI_LINGO_CHANNELS) || !defined(AMI_LINGO_DEFAULT_CHANNEL) || !defined(AMI_LINGO_CO_TRAITS) \ || !defined(AMI_LINGO_SOCKETS) \ || !defined(AMI_LINGO_OARCHIVE) || !defined(AMI_LINGO_IARCHIVE) \ || !defined(AMI_LINGO_CO_ENUMERATOR) \ || !defined(AMI_LINGO_INPUT_CO_ITERATOR) || !defined(AMI_LINGO_OUTPUT_CO_ITERATOR)

?

That's a good point. It also complicates things a little bit, since VA needs to have some understanding of the #if statement, to know when it wants to suggest defined.

I have put in a feature request for this:

Btw, the same effect is observed when writing #pragma's (like #pragma comment(lib, "d3d9")) so the problem can be generalized at this point - when writing precompiler directives, VA's suggestions are bogus.

The wrong suggestions appearing on a line starting with # is a known problem that we are working on. Some improvements have been made internally:
