No Intellisense on Visual Studio 2010
Dec 9th, 2014 at 5:03pm
Print Post  
Intellisense is not showing/working. Nothing pops up as I type. I have used this Visual Studio 2010 install for years. Intellisense shows in my other non-arduino solutions.

I have nearly 40 IntelliSense errors listed that have to do with the stdlib.h, the auto generated header file for my ino and a bunch of overload errors when the function was not overloaded at all.

I really miss using Intellisense and would like to use it with Arduino.

Thanks

Hi Rob,

Questions

1) does build and upload work?
2) when did you install visual micro (tools>options>visual micro>version>version)
3) if you selected a different board and then re-select the correct board for your hardware, does intellisense then work?
4) does the syntax have colour coding?

Thanks

Yes build and upload work. I can also debug.


2) when did you install visual micro (tools>options>visual micro>version>version)
I installed Wednesday with a fresh download. I installed beta today to see if that helps and no. Version = 1.1412.07

3) if you selected a different board and then re-select the correct board for your hardware, does intellisense then work?
Still doesn't work.

4) does the syntax have colour coding?
Yes

Hi Rob,

VS 2010 has been working okay for a few years so all recent updates will be the same.

It sounds like .ino files have not registered correctly with Visual Studio during install/startup.

You can manually configure via this screen adding C++ registration for .ino files

They are already listed in there as such. I removed them, restarted the IDE and added them back in. Still no Intellisense popups as I type.

Okay thanks, they just needed to be there.

When you say no intellisense if you type Serial. into the code do you see a list of methods for the serial object such as println()?

That is exactly what I mean. I see no popup list when typing anything. Some test I tried "boo" for boolean, "Str" for string and I tried "Ser" for Serial.

I take that back I didn't see your ".". Yes I see methods. but no popup for "String" "boolean" or "Serial"

C++ in VS2010 only shows intellisense when you press CTRL+J or type a . or -> etc.

Sorry if this is a repeated question but I need to be clear

Maybe I am mistaken. I don't code in c++ much, usually c# and I tried a new C++ solution and it is doing the same thing. Usually when I start typing in c# editor I can get popups for autocomplete on tab. I guess this must not be available on c++ editor?

Hi Rob,

Okay I suspected that. It's true the C++ intellisense in VS2010 is not as good as C# but it is working.

I don't know if you saw the news, VS 2013 Community edition is free and recently released. The C++ intellisense is much more responsive in Vs2013

There will always be a few intellisense errors in the error report list because VS C++ does not understand 100% of Arduino syntax.

Quote:
the auto generated header file for my ino and a bunch of overload errors when the function was not overloaded at all.


can you give me an example of what you see for this in the error list and also how the function is actually defined (method signature)

Thanks

Yes I have heard. I have some really large LOB on-going projects in VS 2010. I need to check if they can both be installed side-by-side without a problem.

Error:
IntelliSense: cannot overload functions distinguished by return type alone      c:\arduino\remote_rain_esp8266\remote_rain_esp8266.ino


The function:
boolean espBegin(int mode)


I had about 20 of these and as I clicked on each one the error disappeared and cleared up. No changes to code. Weird, they are all cleaned up now just by clicking on them. I must of jumped the gun here too. Sorry.

I have all versions installed on same machine with no issues. They are independent. The only stop point was that I can not install 2013 community on a machine that already has 2013 pro/premium/ultimate installed but that isn't an issue really.

I have seen that behaviour in 2010 before but not in 2013 (yet)

Sorry typo in previous message, can't install 2013 community if 2013 is ultimate already installed (previously stated if 2010 is already installed)
