Forum Topic - Automatic parameter hints: (2 Items)
   
Automatic parameter hints  
Hello, 

Is there any option to force the automatic appearance of parameter hints? Now, in order to see a parameter hint of 
desired function I have to execute a Content Assistant (Ctrl+Space) and choose name of function. 

I would like see these hints any time when I type a name of function and open parenthesis. By default the Ctrl+Shift+
Space should work, but unfortunately it doesn't. 

I use QNX Momentics IDE version 4.0.1 and C/C++ editor.

Thank you in advance for any solution.
Re: Automatic parameter hints  
Hi, Piotr,

The content-assist provided by Eclipse CDT in the C/C++ editor since the
version included in Momentics IDE 4.5 is much improved over the IDE
4.0.1 version.  In the more recent CDT editors, the parentheses of a
function call are closed automatically and Ctrl+Space provides tooltip
help for the parameter list.  You might consider upgrading to a newer
IDE release.

Even in the current CDT release (6.0), however, the only auto-activation
triggers for content assist are ".", "->", and "::".  "(" is not an
option for automatic content-assist.  It would probably be confusing to
implement this, as the same parentheses are used for operator scoping in
expressions.

HTH,

Christian
