<h1>Using Content Assist</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Use Content Assist to insert C/C++ elements of your project or referenced project(s),
|
|
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
|
|

|
|
|
|
<li>Do one of the following:
|
|
<ul>

list, it is automatically inserted.</li>
|
|
<li>Double-click an item in the list to insert it into your code. </li>
|
|
<li>Press <b>Esc</b> to close the Content Assist Window.</li>
