"Intellisense" drop-down...

[olivierS.dagenaisP at canadaA.comM.bbs]

I found it!  In coloreditor.py, I found the two methods I had been wanting
to use, namely SciAutoCActive and SCIAutoCComplete!

Here it is, folks, the ability to use another key than TAB to select a word
in the AutoComplete list:


def AutoCompleteOrIgnore ( editor_window, event ):
    editor = editor_window.edit

    if editor.SCIAutoCActive ( ):
        editor.SCIAutoCComplete ( )

    return 1



Just add it to your .cfg file and then, in the [Keys] section, add/change
the following:

Ctrl+Space        = <<expand-word>>
Ctrl+Enter        = AutoCompleteOrIgnore
Space             = AutoCompleteOrIgnore

and PythonWin should now [sort of] behave like VB!  If you don't like "it"
adding a space after an "auto-completed" word, change the function to:


def AutoCompleteOrIgnore ( editor_window, event ):
    editor = editor_window.edit

    if editor.SCIAutoCActive ( ):
        editor.SCIAutoCComplete ( )
        return 0

    return 1


Wohoo!!!
