Actipro SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on

Automated IntelliPrompt

Automated IntelliPrompt is probably the best feature of the .NET Languages Add-on. This feature was our #1 feature request prior to the availability of the .NET Languages Add-on.

We're pleased to provide a complete framework for performing automated IntelliPrompt using the desired external assembly references, combined with reflection on source code. It only takes a couple lines of code to get up and running and have everything just work.

Features Supported

Automated IntelliPrompt means that these features (whether trigged programmatically, by typing, or a mouse event) are intelligently populated by the .NET Languages Add-on and displayed at the proper time:

• Code Snippets
  If a code snippet shortcut is typed followed by a TAB keypress, the code snippet is inserted and activated.
• Complete word (Ctrl+Space)
  If there is a single member list item that matches the text in the current context, it is automatically completed. Otherwise, a member list is displayed.
• Member list
  Displays various items based on the current context. Items may include namespaces, types, members, language keywords, code snippet shortcuts, and more. When an item is chosen, appropriate code is entered by the member list.
• Parameter info (Ctrl+Shift+Space)
  Displays descriptive information about the parameters for the method or indexer call that contains the caret.
• Quick Info
  Displays descriptive information about the token under the mouse or at the caret.

Formatted Info Tips

All of the popup info tips use our rich formatting code so that they appear in vivid colors. Gone are the days of boring black tooltips. Our tips display images to clearly distinguish type/member types and access modifiers. Keywords and type names are also highlighted.
