Title: Code Completion format
Post by: Encryptor on September 07, 2006, 08:14:57 pm

I noticed that in the nightly builds, each line of the Code completion box that pops up has the following format:
<icon> <name> .
When I checked the 1.0rc2 screenshot (http://www.codeblocks.org/img/screenshots/scr1.png) I saw that the code completion format is:
<method/property> <namespace>::<name> [(params)] : <type> .

I know it's being redesigned, but my question is what format will the final Code completion have? I personally prefer the second one.. I think everyone does :)
Sorry if this was discussed already.. Searching the forum with keywords starting with "Code completion" is almost useless... too many results.

82 views. No replies (except this one :D). Is the question ambiguous or is there something wrong with it?

The control on the screenshot, was a custom control which gave us headaches under non-windows platforms. So, we decided to drop it.
Will it ever come back? Who knows...

Is it possible to modify the current control used,  to display some additional info about the methods/properties?

Nope, it's part of scintilla which we don't want to modify heavily or else scintilla upgrades would be out of the question.
