Hints in CodeBlocks like in Visual C++ 2010 Express?
« on: May 27, 2012, 11:03:31 am »
Hello.

Is possible to turn on hints in Code::Block's Similar like in Visual C++ 2010 Express?

I searched and searched through the options, but found nothing. Maybe a plugin, anything?

Yes, we have them use ctrl-shift-space, but they are not as reliable as the ones in Visual studio. Especially in 10.05, you need a nightly build.

You mean a function like showing in the image attached? Yes, this is embedded into Code::Blocks, as a function of the code completion plugin. But as you didn't tell anything about platform, version, compiler etc. I cant' help you more.

We gave you a hint ho to post which you should have read when registering with the forums. We don't tell this for fun, but to help you. You should read how to post in this forum to avoid such confusions in the future.

Ohh sorry, i forgot.
I mean the options selected an orange circle. I tried to use the code completion, but it was such an effect.
I do not want to go back to Visual C + + because I have to link every project.

Code::Blocks(without MiniGW) - 10.05. from 27 May 2010
MiniGW - last release.
Win 7 64bit.
Allegro5.0.6

@Up Yes, that option like your image attached.


@Thanks for help.

Well that is a screen shot of Code::Blocks nightly. So please use a nightly (as suggested by oBFusCATed already). IMHO current nightlies are really stable.

Yes, it does it, but it is way more unreliable than the nightlies.
