Adding Items to Intellisense whilst using a standard Language

Hi Marcus,

Yes, you can create a class that inherits VBCompletionProvider and override its OnSessionOpening method.  That will pass you the session about to be displayed by automated IntelliPrompt.  Then you can customize the items in it however you want, such as adding new items.

Then you'd want to "replace" the default completion provider server with your custom one.  Something like this:

language.RegisterService(Of VBCompletionProvider)(New MyCustomizedCompletionProvider())

That should do the trick.

Thanks very much, that worked a treat!

There is one slight issue though, when using an overidden OnSessionOpening method (even when not doing anything in the method), the order of the items is no longer alphabetic when displayed! Is this something that I need to apply, and if so is there an easy way?

Thanks.

Marcus.

Hi Marcus,

Sorry, I should have mentioned that.  The base method calls session.SortItems().  So you can call the same or just call the base method after you add your own items.
