<h1>Using Content Assist</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Use Content Assist to insert C/C++ elements of your project, and code templates into your code. You can insert a code template into your source code rather than retyping
|
|
commonly-used snippets of code.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To insert a code template or element:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>In the C/C++ editor, type at least the first letter of a code template or
|
|
element then <b>Ctrl+Space</b>.<br>
|
|
A list displays the code templates
