Hi,
we suggest to add auto-completing optionj to the code editor to help
developers.

Can you describe how you expect this to work - at what point should
compile take place ?

Or are you referring more to live syntax check ?

Environments that have this (like eclipse) i find it more of a nuisance
most of the time (i personally have it turned off there).

Live syntax check would be nice though.

I think he means auto code completion like in Visual Studio where you
can type in a class name followed by a . and it lists the properties and
functions that you can use.

I find this very useful in Visual Studio and am sure that Tim will have
something like this planned for the future however EWB is still in the
early stages at the moment so a few nice to have features are not
implemented yet.

Ok - completely different thing than asked but I agree it would be useful

The way I read it, Manarsoft was referring to the equivalent of what is called Code Insight/Code Completion in Delphi/RAD Studio.  Yep, I can't wait to see this too in EWB as every other software development tool I use has some form of Code Completion (aka Intellisense in MS products, Auto Complete in PHPEd).

So many times I press the shortcut in EWB and wait for the code completion window to come up, and then realise there isn't one.  Be nice to see one in ElevateDB Manager too.

Fair enough - i did not get it that way. Auto-compiling is a valid
request with other IDEs. Eclipse, where i spend some of my time in, has
an option for auto-build that rebuilds your project after saves in the
background.

I agree that from IDE code editor side that's likely the #1 request.
Hopefully once v2 is out it'll be something he can spend some time on.

Not sure what EWB uses as the editor and while i would like built-in
code-completion i would settle for plugin capability (assuming this is
less work for Tim).

Thats is correct;
Elevate must add auto-compliting like in Delphi and Visual Studio.

Anybody remember Norton Guides - DOS - TSR - Shift-F1

Sounds like an interesting feature, although I think it could become annoying after a while.

How do you "like" on this BBS?
