With the following
.....
Private Sub b(X As Subcontracted)

End Sub
Public Enum Subcontracted
A
B
C
End Enum

i would like to automatically show the intellisense for the enum Subcontracted after the following have been typed.

b(
Dim X as Subcontracted =

Basically as an auto suggest. Would you point me in the proper direction for handling this.

Thank you

Perhaps you could use a TextStream to determine the type name from the text when an = character is typed (in the KeyTyped event). Once you have "Subcontracted" as the type name, get a VBContext (by calling VBContext.GetContextAtOffset), and call the DotNetProjectResolver's GetType method using that info. If you find it and it is an enumeration type, then build and show a member list with the items in the enumeration. The IDomType returned by GetType will give you access to the members (fields) of the enumeration.
