I have Bloodshed Dev C++ 4.9.9.2.
Every time I stop typing for a second this hint pops up and I can't see a thing what I'm typing! I have a feeling that it waits for a most unsuitable moment to pop up. Then it disappears in 2 secs, or, sometimes, whenever it wants.
Is there a way to disable it? (haven't found one in the settings)
it confused me too. So when i got the answer, i come here. here is the answer.
On the top of the IDE, choose the 'tools', next 'editor options', then find the checked box 'show editor hints'. uncheck it. done. Hope this helpful.
I never used Dev-C++, but from searching on the Net I found two links:
http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/NEWS.txt
http://www.rohitab.com/discuss/topic/26479-dev-c-pauses-when-i-type-or-next-to-a-class/
In the first, it says that in version 4.9.5.5 they added an option for mouse hints disabling - maybe it will work for keyboard, too.
In the second link, they say disabling "class browsing" will work for a similar issue - might not be what you want (as it probably disables everything), but give it a try.

Intellisense popup in VS2010 is driving me crazy.
I can only see 9 items at a time in the intellisense popup.
It really makes browsing classes you're not familiar with a lot harder.
In VS2008 you could resize it.
is there a trick to this - or a connect issue someone has already made?
VS2010 Quickwatch: 23 items
VS2010 Main editor: 9 items

Edit: Here's an image. Maximum of 9 items in C# window, but 23 in the quickwatch. Huge productivity difference. Especially since the intellisense popup now does partial matching and not just the beginning of the string.
Unfortunately it seems liek this won't be fixed

Vote for it !
It isn't resizable (I just spoke to the main developer that works on it). I'm told that the size is fixed mostly for performance reasons, and that there really isn't a way to change this with an extension, as the size calculation is somewhat complicated (it doesn't actually know how big it needs to be until the first time it is shown).
If you feel very strongly that this should be changed, can you file a bug on Connect? That's the best way to give feedback about it, and allow other people to vote on it. It'll likely be immediately Won't Fixed for VS2010, but it may get considered for future releases.
They could simply provide a
"more..."
element at the bottom of the list. For those who need it, the extra steps and wait would be more than worth the price.
I'm a little bit reluctant as to ask question, as it was asked already here, but the problem is, it wasn't answered sufficiently enough, so I'm forced to ask it second time.
So, just as previously mentioned asker I'm trying to create new project in Microsoft Visual 2010. And instead of showing normal window, it prompts me to save .html file, as shown in picture below.
Saving it and that opening it results in the following window:
though it does nothing - just page with no influence over the project at all.
Notably, this happens not only for Win32 application, but for MFC applications too.
As for the cause of this I don't know of it. As you can see from first screenshot, I was doing Web applications before hand, but I didn't change any of preferences at all (though, my guess is that it's somehow connected).
As for solving this issue, I tried uninstalling IE8, as stated in previous topic, but that didn't help. Also, I tried doing Tools -> Import & Export Settings -> Reset, but it didn't help either.
Please, if someone know solution for this, tell me - I'm out of my wits with this problem.
This problem is occurred because some Visual studio setting is corrupted.
I'd like to recommend to reset settings like following
start > Run> devenv.exe /resetsettings
Unfortunately, many parts of this case related to disturbing or collisions among files. In my experience, some programmes, which were installed recently, might cause this concern.
I'd like to recommend to install all service packs and update patches for VS 2010 and then try it again. If it doesn't fixed, reinstalling VS will be a relevant solution for saving your time and conserving your passion.
I really like the set up of Source Insight, it has a context window for one click understanding of function calls and variables, and a relations window for where functions are called in a project and where variables are used in the project.
It is very good for jumping around in a project and understanding the use of variables, but one thing that's missing is tabbed windows and dividers. It is stuck in the one source file, one window phase of IDE development, before tabs and vertical/horizontal dividers got popular.
It is also very good at finding references for variables and functions, much better than code blocks, codewright, and eclipse (really tried all of them).
Does anyone know or have a set up similar to Source Insight but with Tabs and dividers?
Check out this very nice CodeProject: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/32209/a-File-Switch-Tabbar-for-Source-Insight. Doesn't require any effort, just run the executable, and let it do it's magic.
Keep in mind, it's a very immature project and it might even crash SI if you annoy it (i.e. it might crash if you double click a tab to close it). On the other hand it does the job. I've been using it for over 6 months now, and I've learned how to avoid its touchy parts, and am very happy with it.
Source Insight 4 contains the capabilities you mentioned
I'm using VS2008 (version 9.0.30729.1 SP) and have found that outlining regularly stops working. I get outlining options for the start and end of functions, and for comment blocks, but not for other code blocks, such as ifs, while loops, for loops, etc... Using Reset all settings, as recommended in a similar previous question temporarily fixes the problem, but it comes back going in and out of visual studio. It also has the side effect of requiring me to reset all my C++ directories. Any ideas how to resolve this?
Edit: Using Right Click / Outlining / Collapse block works, but is a bit tedious. I'd really like to see the embedded pluss and minus symbols on the graphic outline. I've tried all the other outlining sub-menu options but to no avail.
My suggestion would be to write a script which every couple of hours adds a randomized post to the VS2008 support forums, requesting that this feature be made more robust, until someone at MS promises to improve it. ;-)
More seriously, you might make a copy of the VS configuration settings files, work until the bug reoccurs, then make another copy, and diff the two versions to see what might have changed. That might give a clue, since resetting the settings seems to fix it temporarily.
In Windows XP if you click Start, Run (or Windows-key + R) you get a little dialog for running things directly. If you start typing, a resizable scroll-list pops up underneath the edit-box.
I want something similar, so when a user is typing in a name to an edit-box, a list will suddenly appear if suggestions can be made. But I don't know if I need to write it all myself, or can use some existing controls/code from somewhere.
I'm currently looking at this one: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/combobox/akautocomplete.aspx Will try to remember to post my findings.
You'll have to create it yourself, IMHO. However if you google 'autosuggest textbox', you should find some examples on how to do it.
The examples might not be in in MFC though, but I'm sure they can help you along.
This one is a good start:
