Compiling opened files + library lookup

[Blanchy]

Hi,

Been using code::blocks for a few hours now and it's probably the best c/c++ editor I've tried so far 

One or two things though, I'm able to compile projects fine, but if I open an individual file (ie outside of a file), how can I compile it
from witihn code::blocks? Pressing the compile button will simply compile the existing project in the workspace.

Also, I've Java and Eclipse a fair bit before and it has a neat feature where by if you were to do the following:

Code

string s;
s.

it would then present you with the list of functions that you call on the string s, is there anyway you can get code::blocks to do the same with C++? (it already does a similar thing if you have a struct, by showing you a list of variables that are in the struct)

Thanks

Well, closing all or the active project and opening an stand alone file.cpp should work when pressing the build button.

codeblocks already have a code completion plugin.

I've looked in plugins and the code completion box is ticked.

How powerful is it though, for instance the example I posted above to do with strings isn't working.

Also, is it possible for code::blocks to remeber the text size I like?

Every time I open it the text is quite small, so I have to use CTRL + mouse roller to increase the text size/zoom in.

The file must belong to a project.

It has some limitations with namespaces, but std::string. brings the correct listing. The author is working hard on it.

Don't worry - found out.

K thanks.

Now my build and run icons seem locked out :-(

I can compile fine using CTRL + F9 or by navigating Build -> compile, but the icon does nothing when I click on it.

Is this a known issue or I have I done something wrong?
