Hi.

I have been using Visual Studio at school, and Project Builder at home to do my school excersises. ( Java & C++)
A thing that I love about Visual Studio is the autocomplete function(*).
But is it true, that there are no function like that in Project Builder ?
I have tried various combinations of shift, tab, command and ctrl keys, but whit out any luck.

----
(*) The autocomplete function, helps you by showing you the avaliable functions and variables of an object.
If say, you have a object of a class named calculator, and that class contains some math functions. When I then create a object of calculator ( calc ) and i want to use the calc object, calc.[then the autocomplete shows me the functions & variable avaliable]

Hmmm - PB doesn't have exactly that - although it does have two functions that will provide all you need.

1 - class browser - you can see all the methods of a class by looking in the "Class Browser" tab (vertical tab) - I find alphabetical view easier that inheritance view.

For an alternative see cocoaBrowser - http://homepage2.nifty.com/hoshi-tak...cocoa-browser/

2 - autocompletion of object / method / variable names. -

If you press F5 after typing part of a method name or Class name or instance variable then it autocompletes.

e.g.
"NSL" completes to "NSLog"
"ini" completes to "init"
"myInst" completes to "myInstanceVariable" (assuming you have an instance var called myInstanceVariable)

I think you have to have typed the word once already in the project before the recognition works - I may be wrong.

This is the ONE thing I want from Windows. Oh and pressing F1 on any documented function to get its documention.

You can Command-double-click any symbol (function or otherwise) to get its definition in the headers, or Option-double-click to get documentation.
