"Real time" content assist [message #685966]

Hello,

I am going on with my work on content assist with proposals taken from external xml file.

One question: default content assist re-computes proposals every time the "match string" is modified and the box is filled with new proposals.

At the moment my content assist must be recalled (CTLR+Space bar) every time the "match string" is modified.

How to do it as the default one?

My content assist at the moment makes an XPath query every time you call it (with CTRL+Space bar) but probably the best solution is to load all the result at the beginning and then filter them during typing...isn't it?

Which is the class responsible that does this task?
I think it is not inside org.eclipse.wst.xml.ui...

Thanks
Marco

Hi Marco,

Do you have your own ICompletionProposal? Most often when I've seen this problem is when ICompletionProposalExtension2 is not implemented or ICompletionProposalExtension2#validate() is implemented incorrectly.

I have implemented my content assist as suggested here using "CustomCompletionProposal" and then "contentAssistRequest.addProposal(CustomCompletionProposal).

Another thing that I have seen is:

if I write "t" and then press CTRL+Space content assist ok, then I write "test" and to get the proposals I have to recall the content assist again...but if I start to delete "test" the content assist is recalled automatically for every deleted char.

Thanks
Marco
