Hi all:

Newbie to both Code:Blocks and programming in general. Doing some programming in school and getting my feet wet.

One thing that is driving me bonkers is when I am typing a line of code like:

printf("

Code:Blocks at that point pops up an overlay that blocks my view of what I am typing. I don't know what to call it, and it's meaningless to me.

The line that pops up is:

_CRTIMP int __cdec1 __MINGW_NOTHROW printf(const char *,...)

What is this and how do I disable it?

Thanks!
Scott

It is called Code Completion and advanced users love it (when it works correctly) :)

To disable it search the settings for code completion and disable it or you can even remove the code completion plugin.

baldysm:
Hmm, I like the code completion.

Do I have to disable code completion entirely? All I want to do is get rid of the one pop up the obstructs view while typing.

I do like the pop up for variable names, functions, etc.

I can disable the whole thing, but not just that one annoying one. I played with some options and didn't get anywhere.

I am using C, not C++ if that makes a difference.

Thanks for the help.

Is it possible to change the colors of that box? Unfortunately white background is quite annoying on a dark theme.

There is currently no setting to disable only that (its name is a 'call tip'), however, if it is popping up on top of your text (instead of below), that is a bug.  What version of Code::Blocks are you using?

If you are building your own Code::Blocks, adding a calls to cbStyledTextCtrl::CallTipSetBackground(), cbStyledTextCtrl::CallTipSetForeground(), and cbStyledTextCtrl::CallTipSetForegroundHighlight() within cbEditor::InternalSetEditorStyleAfterFileOpen() should do the trick.
