HealingAura:
I just downloaded today Code::Blocks and it is great!  :D
I'm studying Computer Science so I write programs in C and C++ and my programs must run under gcc or g++ comands of unix (so I use GNU GCC compiler - I hope it's the right one). I used to work with Dev c++ but Code::Blocks is much better. It has everything a programer needs :) and the debugger is so useful and simple to use.

One thing bothers me and it is the little menu that pops up when I write "." or "->" that let me choose from all the functions in the class - is there a way to disable it or make this menu come manualy (pressing certain keys)?

So, to the ones that made this program: Thank you very much! You are very helpful!  :D

Yes there is just turn code-completion off.

Settings -> Editor -> Code-completion and symbols browser -> Disable code completion (assuming you have a nightly, or you built C::B from a newer SVN trunk revision).

If you have RC2. Get a nightly from here.

You can also manually show the Code-Completion menu by pressing 'Ctrl+Space'.

Thank you guys :)
By the way, I use C::B version 1.0rc2 (got it from the "download" section)
What is a nighty?
I downloaded 3 files from the newest post from the link: wxmsw26u_gcc_cb.7z,  CB_20060522_rev2484_win32.7z, mingwm10.7z
but I don't know what to do with them  :?

A nightly build is a build each night with all the development that was done that day compiled in. Now since C::B is under a lot of development you will get all the "bleeding edge" features already compiled for you.

If you were impressed with rc2 just wait till you try out the nightly build!

You need to do a bit of work, but it is REALLY worth it.

Things you need to download:

* Code::Blocks Nightly IDE
* MinGW v5.0.2 Compiler
* GDB v6.3-2 Debugger
* 7-Zip installer
Things you need to do:

* Install 7-zip.
* Install MinGW v5.0.2. Note: Make sure to choose to install g++ and gcc. The other options are up to you.
* Install GDB v6.3-2.
* Uninstall Code::Blocks rc2 if you have it installed.
* Uncompress the nightly build to a directory with 7-Zip. ex. C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks
* Run Code::Blocks and it should automatically find the MinGW install.
Enjoy Code::Blocks

Edit: These steps are from memory so just be aware and ask questions if you need to.
