Q: Intellisense

[Geoff Jones]

Hiya

I'm using VB.Net and wondering if somebody could tell me how to stop the
Intellisense system doing something rather irritating.

Basically, if I write some code for an object as soon as I write the period
i.e. dot, I get a list of all the members available. Fine! No problem there.
However, suppose, for example, I am writing for the button click event of a
toolbar. When I write

e.

I get a context menu saying that Button is a possiblity - which is what I
want BUT when I press return I get

e.Button()

followed by a carriage return! Unfortunately, in this case, what I want is

e.Button Is tbbAnotherMethod

etc. That is, I don't want the brackets and CR so I have to backspace to get
back to the Button text!

Can anybody help?

Thanks in advance

Geoff

Press <space> if you need a <space>.

If I understand what your after correctly you just need to use the TAB key instead of the RETURN key

press tab, return of course will do a return...

BUT when I press return I get

e.Button()

Then don't press return, press space. It will still complete and it will
be a more natural method of coding.

I prefer pressing Tab in this situation... ;-).
