Code completion items

<< < (2/2)

Martin_fr:
IIRC "items CONTAINING" prefix, means to match proposals in the middle to.

So TFoo.x  will have "extend" in the list, because an "x" is contained..
Otherwise the prefix must match from the start of each item.

WooBean:
Maybe Martin wanted this?

I'm going backwards....

Now I don't get the little popup window and I don't even get the popup window that used to popup with the parameters of a function which I was writing a call to.

At this point, I'm going to compare the settings I've got in this trunk installation with the settings I have in other working installations... hopefully, that will be enough to figure out why I'm not getting what I want.

I'm going to put this in the back burner... I need to finish the code I'm working on before I lose track of what I'm doing.

Thank you for the help... I'm sure I'll have more questions/comments later.

Martin_fr:
The yellow hint with the parameter declarations:
   Editor > Completion and hints. "Auto display function prototypes"
Also Ctrl-Shift-Space

The drop down "code completion window" also has settings on
   Editor > Completion and hints.
Mainly the delay timer. "completion box delay"

So if (in codetools > identifier completion) you have it "automatically on typing" then that only applies if you also checked "use completion delay"
(Which BOTH are on in your image)

The other thing is, if codetools has issues reading your code. Then they stop working (as no content can be delivered).

Then also jump to declaration may stop working.

Afaik, certain generic constructs (especially generic procedures) may cause that.
