User forums > Using Code::Blocks

code completion does not get focus

<< < (4/5) > >>

Jorg:
I have been pointed to this thread from my original one. This is my config:

KDE3.4 (I think)
Suse 10
CodeBlocks from SUSE10, CVS build rpm

Just to think along (as I am a wxWidgets developer too) what window do you use ? Is it a normal window? I assume you are using wxSTC or wxScintilla for your source display, right ? Maybe it helps if that has a method to display the code completion list. Also making the window show modal (if that is desired I do not know) might solve your problem as it will not switch focus to the disabled parent.

Ok I think I found a way around it. Sorry to dissapoint all KDE guys, but Gnome seems to behave MUCH better with Code::Blocks in many ways.. The search dialog for example also did not show the focus on the text ctrl which is also nice if one would like to quickly find something. In Gnome the focus is properly set to the code completion box, and the search box. Also the code completion box could be properly resized and moved without problems.

It is definately a window manager issue. I have abandoned KDE for now, as I am more into minimalism anyway, and Gnome works faster.

Besides this minor inconsistency between Windowmanagers (which I truely believe cannot be Code::Blocks fault) I am very-very pleased with this IDE. It works great in debugging, building and coding .. :-) Keep up the good work guys!

Good news: It seems as I have found a solution for this problem - it at least works on enlightenment e16 now.
The only necessary change is adding the flag wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT to the style list the constructor of CCList passes to the constructor of its base class 'wxFrame'. This takes place on line 65 of the file 'src/plugins/codecompletion/cclist.cpp'. (I used the version which was available from cvs today).
Maybe some other guys could test this with other window managers and report if it works there, too.

Jorg:
It would be great if I could get a RPM or a precompiled binary to try ;-) I think building C::B from CVS is a bit too much for me..
I am now using C:: with Gnome, but it seems KDE works better under Suse (I bet that is why they made it default) and I am also experiencing some weird GUI hangups and error sometimes (not C::B related).

Thanks in advance,
- Jorgen

*push*
Did anyone test my solution yet? Would be nice to know if this works one more than just one window manager...
