How do I prevent the spacebar from causing the intelliprompt to complete the current token?

Thanks!

Try adding a space character to the IntelliPromptMemberList.AllowedCharacters collection.

Is it possible to have the space only complete the member list if it doesn't match an entry in the list?

For example, if the list includes:

FirstString
Second String

Then if I have typed "Second" then hit the space, it could match the space in second string in the list. But right now, it dismisses the member list. This is only really an issue if the list included things like:

String One
String Two

In this case, if I have typed "String" then hit space, it selects the first entry even though I was about to type "T".

Fyi, I'm still on the 3.1.x code base.

Thanks

Hi Tom,

To do that sort of complex handling, you'd probably have to add space to the IntelliPromptMemberList.AllowedCharacters collection. Then also maybe handle the SyntaxEditor.KeyTyped event and if the member list is displayed and the selected item doesn't have a space, call the member list's Complete method.
