(one side point. i apologize in advance since this doesn't really have to do with anim8or but i was wondering since i'm learning C# and i was trying to figure out how to program your intellisense feature. so if you caould give some direction i would ge much obliged.)
thanks in advance
Sure, here's a (very) short summary of what I've done:
I created a new windows form that would represent the Auto-Complete list (and the only control inside this window is the list itself).
Then I had to track the "OnKeyPress" and "OnKeyDown" events of the text box to show/hide the auto-complete window and I also had to check for mouse events in the auto-complete box itself... There was a lot of other things I had to do, for example to search the code for variable declarations to maintain a list of all variables, to close the auto-complete window when the textbox loses focus, to fill the list with appropriate content... The piece of code is about 600 lines long.
If you want a more detailed explanation, send me a pm or an e-mail, I don't mind sharing a part of my secrets
ps. Right now I'm working on a "Syntax checker" - this function will try to parse your script and check it for errors so you don't have to save the file, start Anim8or and load the script to find out that there's a semicolon missing...
