In your project's Build Extras setting, there is a setting to pick how the IDE gets browser symbols. Set this to "code parser" to have it try to parse all your files to do code completion. Otherwise, it will try to get symbol completions just from the symbols the compiler supplies. The code parser is able to give the IDE much better information, including parameter names and local variable information.Is here something magical to get this to work?I have it turned on in the prefs, and even turned the time delay way down, and nothing.
Code completion has a couple of problems in the IDE we released. You can try to manually activate the completion using the alt-period keystroke (this can be changed in the key binding preferences). There are a few situations where this won't work. In the IDE we released, there was a bug in code parser for C/C++ files that would cause it to give up if you used an expression with binary and (&) in some places in your file. We've already fixed it here, and I'm hoping to update the IDE for the 9.1 patch. This would cause you not to be able to complete code in your source file following this kind of expression. Moving to an earlier part of your source file would let this work.
We are working hard to get this perfected -- our Java completion works very well, but parsing C and C++ in real time to gather then information we need is a bit more challenging. This is the only problem I know about, but I'd guess there are others. Often, if you can't complete code in one part of the file, moving to an earlier part of the file will work for you.
