IDE - VS 2010 - Turn Off Intellisense Auto-complete
Oct 12, 2010
is there an option to retain Intellisense suggestions but turn off the auto-complete completely in VB 2010? Since upgrading to Visual Studio 2010, I find that Intellisense's auto-complete is far too eager to replace code. It often happens that while typing a section of code I will find that I need a new variable. Rather than back up in the code and create the variable, I want to be able to type on and add the Dim statement once my train of thought has reached a good stopping point. However, as soon as I try to use an undefined variable or method or property, Intellisense jumps in to replace what I have typed with gibberish.
I like Intellisense showing what methods, properties and parameters are available; however I would like to turn off the feature which automatically triggers auto-complete whenever I type ahead.
The auto complete dropdown will NOT close, no matter what I do. When I load the form, the dropdown is down with all the options displayed. I can type anything, and the options will narrow down, until an option is selected, then all the options reappear in the list. If I select an option, hit tab, enter, any key or mouse click, the list still doesn't close. If I change the DropDownStyle to DropDown or DropDownList, it works fine.
I have a code keypress that automatically input a text in a particular textbox if the text i pressed match the fields.eg. when I type 32 in the ID textbox . The name of the person whos ID is 32 will be put on the name text.it works perfectly but when I use autocomplete on the textbox it will not work anymore. is their a way or can anyone tell me why it isnt working.?
Private Sub txtTicketPassengerNo_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtTicketPassengerNo.KeyPress If e.KeyChar = Chr(Keys.Enter) And Me.txtTicketPassengerNo.Text <> Nothing Then
I have just installed VS 2010 Premium on my Windows Vista Machine. I've noticed that in VS2008 when I typed for eg " Public property MyProperty() as string " and pressed the enter..I was getting automatically the expected result. Meaning by that , that VS2008 was generating for me the rest of the code. [code] In Visual Studio 2010 I am not getting this anymore. What happened ? Is this feature still working in VS 2010 ?

Does anyone know how I can setup visual studio to use the enter key to complete intellisense, but without moving the cursor to the next line? I use multiple other IDE's that work in this fashion, and VS is really throwing off my rythym with this.
(pardon me for re-using someone else's wording - but it seems this question comes up in each NEW version of the IDE) Does anyone know how to disable VB autosave? I like to open a working solution/project, mess around with it, and if I cant get it working, I like to exit without saving so that the original working version is left.
But silly VB 2010 autosaves changes, therefore stuffing up, a once working solution/project. I can understand autosaving whilst working though a large solution, but I prefer to click save once I have accomplished a routine, in the solution/project.
My project is built in VB.Net.Many times I find that Visual Studio has added subroutines to my code files even if a subroutine of the exact same name already exists. This can cause debugging nightmares as the new empty routine seems to override the correct routine. I think this can happen if I double-click on a control in the form Design view, but I try not to do this.Is there any way to turn this off?
Example:
Hand entered
Private Sub TS_Main_View_Network_Click Handles TS_Main_View_Network.Click
System added:
Private Sub TS_Main_View_Network_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TS_Main_View_Network.Click
I guess that the system adds the second routine because the argument list (which is unneeded but may be required) list is missing from the first routine.
So I was reading a bit on AutoComplete of textboxes in VB.NET, but I can't really understand where these are stored? Is it a fully built in feature, or do I have to write some code for it to work? I've found the AutoCompleteMode and AutoCompleteSource properties of textboxes.But I want to append whatever I've written in the textbox to the autocomplete source. Do I connect the source to My.Settings or something
I have datagridview containing 4 columns with 2 combobox. With the initial loading of datagridview I could select an item with the combobox, but when I tried to select an item with other combobox I've got an error showing "System.ArgumentException:
I have a problem with my coding to autocomplete textbox. nothings happen
Dim col As New AutoCompleteStringCollection NewDataSet("select * from tbluser") If ds.Tables("0").Rows.Count > 0 Then For i = 0 To ds.Tables("0").Rows.Count - 1
I have a datagrid and I have imported it to my project under vb.net language, and the database is MS access any way in this datagrid one table call "Employees" ID - Name - Nationality - Job title and what I want is when I write the ID number of the Employee, all the other details automatically comes upon to his ID number.
Im currently diving into jquery autocomplete for the first time. To start off with, I had a .net handler calling out to a mssql db and pulling last names. That worked great.However when I try to add additional values it simply doesnt work. The code being used in the handler is as follows.
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest Dim prefixText As String = context.Request.QueryString("term") Dim conn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection
[code]....
I didnt include the IsReusable when posting, but that is there. why it doesnt like multiple values but will display one lone value?
** Edit ** I just looked in Firebug and it is getting a response but just not displaying it. My implementation of this is pretty simple so far, nothing to fancy.
I have a combo box with autocomplete binded to a database. I would like it to return, or at least assign to variables specific columns in the same row to a label when I press the button. I read something about Tag and Text in the label section but couldnt quite figure it out.
I have a ComboBox in my WinForm which has data from SQL server (used LINQ to bring up the data). I'd like to have an option just like AutoComplete in VB.NET but not only by the first letter but for a search LIKE.
What is the best approximation algorithm to implement full-text fuzzy search. For example we have a dropdownlist with the following data (from SQL datasource):
Company Policy Product Catelog Our Partners
Now I want to replace it with an autocomplete textbox, such that when the letter "p" is typed the list shows all three results. It should start matching the first letter of the first word or second word and so on. Also, it should highlight or make the matched letters bold in the suggestions dropdown.Is there a readymade control for ASP.NET (with JS or jQuery) to deliver all the aforementioned functionality? Otherwise if I have to implement it, is there a tutorial/blog which point me in the right direction?
I'm having troubles with my datagridview. Id like to use a combobox that you could type into and (as you are typing) would update the drop down list with the ability to use wildcardsThe list is populated with a table in my database. I know how to do this using just a combobox on a form, but I'm still learning everything with datagridviews.Is there a way to do this with a combobox in datagridview? If not, is there a way to do it any other way (i.e. using a textbox and having something pop up like the autocomplete windows)? I really would like to have the ability to use wildcards with this
I would like a fulltext autocomplete functionality for a Combobox. Built-in autocomplete only filters those items, that match the written text from the first letter. Is there any 3rd party components that has fulltext autocomplete? Or do I need to make functions myself?
i have a combobox with autocomplete to listitems it works very fine if i wrote the first letter it suggests a list of items that starts with this letter. i need to make it work if i write any part of the word not only the first letter?
I would like to know if it's possible to code Auto-completion for a RichTextBox control. I would also like to know how to load a .lua file into the RichTextBox
I'm using the AutoComplete function of a TextBox to suggest values from a database to the user. This works almost as expected. However, I do have two questions that I can't seem to find the answer to...
1) Is it possible to change the function that selects the items to display in the AutoComplete dropdown such that it will also select strings that match anywhere else than at the beginning? For example, when I type 'apple' I want that to match 'Apple' but also 'I have an apple!'.
2) Is it possible to change that same function to sort the options? (In my case based on how often they exist in the database.)
i want to make a textbox suggest all possible inputs based on a certain column in my database. for example, i have a country column in the database and i want my textbox to display all countries from my database column that starts with P when i type it and so on
I implemented auto complete in vb.net textbox , but there is an issue that when user types something in text box the auto complete suggestion list blinks and disappears like if the focus changed
here is the code:
Dim Bl As New ItemBL Dim suggestions = DAL.DisplayLikeNameList(Trim(MyTextBox.Text)) Dim MySource As New AutoCompleteStringCollection()
[code]....
I believe the problem in Mdi form because it has timer code executed after the above code :
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick LblDateAndTime.Text = Now End Sub
Note: the auto complete code is executed in a child form not in the Mdi Form , what do you suggest to keep suggestions list "sticky" as the user writing in the text box ?
