Showing Details/Descriptions in Content Assist [message #662585]

Hi there!

I'm using Javadoc-like descriptions in my DSL interpretation, and I also enabled content assist for functions and stuff.
Now I'm wondering how to combine these.

I've already implemented ITextHover to enable the descriptions when hovering over a function, and it works very well Smile

So all the pieces work, but I dont't know how to combine them...

When I look at the JAVA content assist, it opens another popup with the JavaDoc (if available).
Example: Type "Strin" in the JAVA Editor, and it shows "String" with an extra popup displaying the String-Documentation.

Can anybody help me out how to achieve this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Timo,

this feature is available in the Xtext 2.0 stream. Feel free to dig into
the org.eclipse.xtext.ui.editor.hover package.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hello again,

I finished migrating to 2.0 now, and thought i'd have another look at this topic.

To get custom proposals i have overwritten and customized the generated ProposalProvider. This is working fine, but i want to extend it to also show the documentation for each proposal.

i have attached a screenshot of the java proposals to demonstrate what i want to achieve.

could someone give me directions on how to do this?

thanks a lot!
