Visual Studio 2013 VB intellisense

Question

Apologies upfront if this is a silly question, but it's annoying me to no end and I can't figure it out.

I'm using Visual Studio 2013 Professional, and I usually code in C# where when using the Intellisense, when I press Enter to select a method or something it adds my selection and I can continue typing on the same line.

But at the moment I'm working on a project which is in VB.NET, and when I use the Intellisense in the same way it puts my cursor in the next line, ie I press Enter to select whatever, it adds my selection and starts a new line, so I have to press the Backspace to go back to the previous line. It's so annoying!

Is there a way to change this behaviour so the cursor doesn't go to the next line? I've looked at the settings available in Tools > Options but can't figure it out, and searching Google for anything similar hasn't been successful.

Answer 1

Found it here (paragraph List Members )

You have toggled to suggestion mode instead of completion mode .

You can also change to suggestion mode, in which only the text you type is inserted into the code. For example, if you enter an identifier that is not in the list and press TAB, in completion mode the entry would replace the typed identifier. To toggle between completion mode and suggestion mode, press CTRL+ALT+SPACEBAR or click Edit/IntelliSense/Toggle Completion Mode.

So, either use TAB / SPACEBAR (as I said in the comment) or press CTRL+ALT+SPACEBAR to switch back to completion mode .

EDIT: I've found out that whenever you type Stri (String will show highlighted in the list now) and you press . (dot) it will autocomplete and stay at the same line.

I think your way of doing this in C# isn't possible in Visual Basic.

Answer 2

I had the same problem and discovered that Auto list members was not enabled on my machine. It's under Tools > Options > Text Editor > Basic > General . This gave me the intellisense I was looking for.

当您遇到此类问题时可以使用的简单事情是当IntelliSense为我提供预测列表时按Tab键而不是Enter键。
