Auto complete / list objects with Ctrl+Shift

[GeoMEM]

Hi,

This isn't documented as far as I'm aware in VB6 and I haven't seen it in the VB6 books I've read.

When in IDE editor if you press Ctrl+Shift you'll get a list of all objects in your project.
If you have started typing an object identifier (variable name, function or sub name, etc.) it'll auto-complete the name (if the text you've type can identify it uniquely) or get a list of names (if it can't).

Very useful when you think you can remeber the first 2 or 3 letters of an object name but not the rest!

Just thought it may help (if no-ones mentioned it recently)

Cheers

You mean CTRL+Space right?

[plenderj]

Ctrl+Shift does nothing.
Its already hooked for use with selecting text anyway.

And Ctrl+Space just give you a list of *all* available instrinsic functions, enums and constants

Yes, of course I mean Ctrl + Space !
Brains half asleep at this time in the afternoon.

Is it actually documented anywhere obvious in the VB6 help documentation?

CTRL+Space auto completes if you have started typing your word.
If you have a Label1, you can type lab and hit CTRL+Space
