Auto List Compatible Parameters
CONTEXT TAGGING®
When typing a function operator such as the open parenthesis, “(”, a list of compatible variables and
expressions for the current argument is displayed. Auto List Compatible Parameters can also be used
instead of List Members, in assignment statements (x=) and when listing members of a
class or struct. Keep in mind, not all possible variables and expressions are listed. Press Alt+Dot if the
symbol that you want is not listed. To access Auto List Compatible Parameters on demand, press
Alt+Comma. If you want to disable automatic listing and only list parameters on demand, turn Auto List
Compatible Parameters off, as follows:
1. From the main menu, click Tools > Options > Languages, expand your language category and
language, then select Context Tagging®.
2. Clear the Auto-list compatible parameters check box.
The following example displays the results of pressing Alt+Comma after an assignment operator. The
Rect, pRect, and argv are not listed because their types do not match.
Completions
Completions save keystrokes as you are typing code by providing a way to automatically complete
partially-typed text. Press Ctrl+Space for SlickEdit® to automatically complete the rest of the symbol
