[LINUX] Code display gone missing
(1/1)
QEnnay:
Hi, just installed a new version of Linux Mint and Laz 2.0.10 and all working fine except the Code display or whatever it is called.
When I start to type a func/proc name it displays the structure, MessageDlg(const Msg : String.. etc
How do I turn it on? I have not changed any settings yet, so pretty sure I did not turn it off. :)
Thanks

Do you mean
1) The "code completion"
The drop-down, that displays possible function names.
E.g. you type Form1.Ca
An it displays Caption, Cascade, CanFocus, Ca.....
Ctrl-Space
2) The "Parameter Hint"
When you typed
IntToHex(
It displays a hint, that says
Number: Integer; Length: Integer
Number: Int64; Length: Integer
...
Shift Ctrl Space

Set the "delay" and enable the checkboxes.

Ahhh, OK thanks it was #2 -- but I changed the items suggested and still nothing. I then tried the Shift+Ctrl+Space and it declared an error "Missing file," and went to the top Uses clause.
I checked the Project Inspector (PI) and the correct Name, Path etc was there for the "missing" file.
I deleted it from the PI then navigated to the file, loaded it into Editor and added it to the PI again. Now the Parameter Hints are working as of old.
A small bug? Other files defined in the PI are all OK and on the same basic Path as the formerly "missing" one, so beats me.
