vb's intellisense doesn't work

[tina104291325]

Hi
say i have declare the following types

Public Type objinner 
  Top As String 
  Bottom As String 
End Type
 
Public Type obj 
  Something As String 
  subobj As objinner 
End Type
 
Public Myobj As obj

now i m wrinting Myobj.subobj and then press the dot ".". Vb's intellisense feature is supposed to drop down the list box but it doesn't why? am i missing somthing?

This works:

Option Explicit
 
Public Type objinner
  Top As String
  Bottom As String
End Type
 
Public Type obj
  Something As String
  subobj As objinner
End Type
 
Public Myobj As obj
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
 
   Myobj.Something
 
End Sub

Both the above examples work fine in my VB.

Must be something specific on your PC, rather than VB being crap

Be sure the option Auto list members is checked in the editor tab of tools options .

this works for me too Myobj.Something
but this Myobj.subobj.top doesn't the list that contains top and bottom doesn't being shown. is that the same to your VB?

Works for me with top and bottom.

Two things to check...

Firstly what is the scope of the Type declaration???

Have you defined the type declaration properly??

Run the app with CTLR + F5 and see if you get any errors

You could always swap the Types for Class Modules...

More robust, easier to update and have more functionality.

But, hey, I am just a badger...what do I know...
