[code::blocks]How do i achieve this box for...

[Lil Margin]

What do you call this box ? :


And why is it that when i use an object class from another object class i dont get this box?, how do i make it that this box exploration can go deeper into the code?

it's called "IntelliSense" !!!

well, C::B has some little problems with it...
sometimes it's enough to save the file and C::B parses the code for it...
but sometimes you'll need to close the project and reload it so C::B parses the code...

I closed the project and reopened it but it seems that when i try to access a member of a irrlicht class thats defined in another self-made class, it wont show the Intelisense, the code works 100% and has no flaws with it.

I tried rebuilding, re-opining but till now none of those worked.

To be more specific, Intellisense is the name for it in Visual Studio. The generic name is code completion.

Try to make your class paths as include paths for the compiler options..
It should work... codeblocks is not 100% with the code completion box.
You could also try code lite... for developing...

As mentioned before, the code completion in CodeBlocks is a bit tempermental. Generally, if you need to access some data type within Irrlicht, you can type the name of the namespace its in (ex: core::) and that box will pop up.

I hope I understood your question correctly.

Hmmm thats not exactly what i ment :/

Lets say i defined the irrlicht device inside a selfmade class called device.h (and implemented in device.cpp)

And then i include the device.h in my main.cpp and use it in my while loop like this

Code: Select all

while (mydevice.return_device()->run())

for some reason i dont get the code completion box/intellisense when i type

Code: Select all

mydevice.return_device()->

and that puts that i have to write the

Code: Select all

->run()

manualy.

I hope i could of explain better (english isnt my first neither my main language but i gues you figured by now )

d3jake's method works (for me). I switched from "using irr" to "irr::", so that I have to write "irr::core::vector3f v" instead of "vector3df v", but this way Code::Blocks seems to get code completion done.
