Displaying code snippet folders

Hi Stephen,

The insert snippet popup isn't in 2012.1 but it is a completed feature that will be in 2012.2.  We are still finishing up other enhancements for that version, so it may be a month or two yet.

I note this has been added in 2012.2 now but I can't get it to work properly. Although it shows snippet folders, it doesn't show snippet files, backspace doesn't seem to work, and I can't remove it by pressing the escape key. I'm using the following code to launch the snippet popup which is called when the # key is pressed (I've also registered a CodeSnippetProvider).

mEditor.ActiveView.IntelliPrompt.RequestInsertSnippetSession()

Is there anything else I'm missing ?

Hi Stephen,

When I try it in the SDI Editor sample it's working fine.  I wonder if perhaps you doing it from a key handler is keeping focus in the editor vs. allowing it to go to the popup properly.  Make sure your root code snippet folder actually contains snippets in it too, or else you won't see any at the root level.

You could try to "dispatch" the RequestInsertSnippetSession call with Send priority.  Maybe see if that helps.

I've produced a sample application which demonstrates the problem I'm having. The code snippets popup is launched by clicking a button. Folders are shown but not snippet files. Can I pass this to you too look at ? How do I do this ?

Hi Stephen,

One more thing to try before sending anything.  The method you call is going to only include code snippets that have the Expansion enumeration item indicated in their SnippetTypes property.  So make sure your snippets have the SnippetTypes specified and htat Expansion is present.  See if that is the problem.

Adding the Expansion enumeration has done the trick. Thanks.
