Options, SmartCoding
This sub-dialog of the options dialog allows some settings for making coding more
pleasant. This concerns the Smart Coding functions like for example AutoDeclaration
or Input Assistant.
Abb. 213 SmartCoding options dialog
Declare unknown variables automatically (AutoDeclare): If this option is activated, the
Auto Declare dialog will open automatically when you enter a not yet declared
identifier in any programming language editor.
List components after typing a dot (.): If this option is activated, the "List Components"
is activated. This means that when entering a dot (".") in an editor at a position where
an identifier is expected, you will get a selection list with possible entries.
List components immediately when typing: If activated: As soon as you enter any
character in the editor, a list will open which contains all available identifiers and
operators. This is also a kind of "List Components" functionality. Depending on which
character sequence you have entered, automatically the first entry of this list matching
this character sequence will be selected. Anyway you can select each of the list items
and by <Return> place it at the cursor position.
Convert keywords to uppercase automatically (Autoformat): If this option is activated,
all keywords used in text parts of editors automatically will be written in capital
letters. Example: If you enter "bVar:bool;" this will be converted to "iVar:BOOL;"
Automatically list selection in cross reference view: If this option is activated, the Cross
Reference View always automatically lists the references of the variable currently
selected in the active editor.
