Code Complete Won't work.

General
1

I have a Class object that is global, yet the code complete doesn’t work. I manually typed in one property but if I hit tab it will not show me all of the class properties???

2

need more details that this to be able to guess whats up

What code are you trying to type in ?
Whats the class name ?
Are you trying to use a class instance or the class itself ? (you can only use shared if you refer to the class itself)

here I quickly created a new Class, Class1, added some properties
Then in the Window1 open event I put

Dim c As Class1

c.<tab>

and all the public properties I’ve defined are shown

Using instance, class is clRegPrice

Instance is

RegPrice = New mdGlobals.clRegPrice (mdGlobals is a module)

In session Open

Typing RegPrice. <<< No autocomplete, if I type property in it works as expected when run.

Scope on all properties is public. This is the same class you helped me with yesterday.

let me whip up a little local sample and see if I can reproduce this

edit : are you just trying to set the property value in the instance ?

ah interesting - looks like theres a bug - try clicking in the code editor right after the period
here that seems to tweak things and then autocomplete shows the properties

I can report it but I cant fix it :frowning:

Clicking did nothing, and was trying to read the property.

well … what does the exact line of code you’re having issues with look like ?

if you write

regprice.<tab>

this is where I saw I needed to click and the n the autocomplete list showed

but here my property is cleverly named “someProperty” and its an integer
and if I write

dim i as integer = regprice.<tab>

the autocomplete list showed without clicking

I’m using 2018r4 on macOS 10.12

As it was mentioned again and again: You type, autocomplete works. You type, autocomplete doesn’t work. You type, autocomplete works again. Not reproducible. Trick with … also doesn’t work.

It definitely doesn’t work in Win10. Only after typing TWO dots, backspacing to one.

I’m using I’m using 2018r4 on macOS 10.14 and I can’t get it to work at all.

Just tried the beta, same problem.

2018r4 is where the bug is in.

If mymodule.[tab]

Not working, requires a mouse click at the end of line to refocus or double dot and backspace to be able to use tab.
