[PB 5.20 Beta 17] AutoComplete and Visual-Designer-Constants

[Kiffi]

Hello,

AutoComplete doesn't show the constants i have in an opened Visual Designer Window





My Settings: Editor / AutoComplete / Displayed Items -> "Add items from [X] all open files"

Thanks in advance & Greetings ... Kiffi

Hi Kiffi,

Sorry, but it works perfectly on my system:

PB520 beta17 64bit with Windows 7 64 bit

Edit: Oops. Already had another file open with that constant.

Changing it to another name produces the result you got.


Edit2: Could it be due to form files (pbf) only.

If I create a new file (pb) and enter a new constant, say #Window_321
Then that constant can be seen in Auto-Complete in all the other open files.

If it is generated by the Visual-Designer it does not! Apparently!?

I can confirm this very annoying behavior.

The Problem only seems to exist with form-files (*.pbf) - Constants and variables in other files are shown reliable.

The strange thing is, that sometimes (very rare) the constants of the Form-file will be shown correctly in autocomplete, but if one changes the form again they will disappear again.

I think the Idea of the Form-Designer is very good, but if one tries to use it, this bug is really annoying.

So PLEEEEEASE .... have a look at it.
