C'mon guys, don't scare the newbie :( Remember the customer is always right! (Except when he's wrong of course :P ). We don't want to become like those elitist linux zealots who yell at the users, do we? :shock: OK OK I know your comments were a joke, but it could be misinterpreted.

Besides, Vuki's suggestion is a valid one, altho it's up to the developer of the code completion plugin to analyse the proposal.

Well, I won't switch to MinGW DS. But I may switch to VC++ 2005 Express and not return here  :wink:
Anyway, I think that existing Code Completion + optional Tootlips would be great and helpful. Not every programmer has the whole Win32API in their memory.

Fill a Feature Request.
A code completion Ctags based wouldn't be difficult to implement.

About Ctags:
http://ctags.sourceforge.net/

    * Supports 33 programming languages
    * It is capable of generating tags for all types of C/C++ language tags
    * Compiles on UNIX, MSDOS, Windows 95/98/NT, OS/2, QNX, Amiga, QDOS, VMS, Macintosh, and Cray.
    * Included in major Linux distributions
    * Tag index files are supported by most major editors, including: vi, Emacs, JED, jEdit, UltraEdit
    * Fast: Even for an unsorted 24MB tag file, tag searches take about one second on a 650 MHz Athlon Linux machine.

I'm currently in progress on a ctags plugin.  However there's something I'd like to know - can two autocomplete plugins work together?
I'd like to see the current C::B autocomplete first try to handle completion, then if it fails use the ctags one.  This would allow one to have the benefit of C::B's good plugin, but also to type the windows's constants and suchlike without having to add windows.h into the project and have a huge, slow autocomplete cache.

What do you think?

OOPS, I suppose this is a development question. Sorry
