I've downloaded the PalmOS developer suite, but I can't find anything to enable the coding helps. I've been working for a long time with the VisualC++ editor to write C code for Palm and compiling that with PRCTools, and I'm looking for something like that: can Eclipse complete class members, or show functions declariations while writing a function call?
Code completion for C/C++ isn't working very well for 68K code in the current beta release. These are limitations of the CDT (C Developer Tools) that the Palm OS support is built with. In theory, you can hit Ctrl-Space to try to get a completion of the current symbol, but there are problems with how CDT parses the Palm OS headers that prevent it from seeing a lot of the symbols that are defined.
We are working on fixes for this, but I can't promise that this will be working well in the PODS 1.0 release. I do know that this works a bit better for Palm OS Protein applications due to a simpler set of header files, although there still can be a bit of a lag in bringing up possible completions.
