<h1>Using Content Assist</h1>
|
|
|
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
<p>Use Content Assist to insert C/C++ elements of your project, and templates into your code. You can insert a template into your source code rather than retyping
|
|
|
16 |
commonly-used snippets of code.</p>
|
|
|
17 |
|
|
|
18 |
<p>To insert a template or element:</p>
|
|
|
19 |
|
|
|
20 |
<ol>
|
|
|
21 |
<li>In the C/C++ editor, type at least the first letter of a template or
|
|
|
22 |
element then <b>Ctrl+Space</b>.<br>
|
|
|
23 |
A list displays the templates
|
|
|
24 |

|
|
27 |
<li>Do one of the following:
|
|
|
28 |
<ul>
|
|
|
29 |
<li>Continue typing. The list shortens. When there is only one item in the
|
|
|
30 |
list, it is automatically inserted.</li>
|
|
|
31 |
<li>Double-click an item in the list to insert it into your code. </li>
|
|
|
32 |
<li>Press <b>Esc</b> to close the Content Assist Window.</li>
|
|
|
33 |
</ul>
|
|

|
|
|
46 |
item in the list, select the <b>Insert single proposals automatically</b> check box.</li>
|
|
|
47 |
<li>To automatically insert a common prefix of all proposals, select the <b>Insert common prefixes automatically</b> checkbox.</li>
|
|
|
48 |
<li>To display proposals in alphabetical order, rather than by relevance, select the <b>Present proposals in alphabetical order</b> checkbox. </li>
|
|
|
49 |
<li>To change <b>Auto-Activation</b> of content assist for ".", "->" or "::" triggers, select the appropriate checkboxes.</li>
