First, i feel so sorry for my poor English

My problem is :

I heared that edit c++ by eclipse

when you use a pointer of a class

and after the pointer append ->

then all the members of the class will be listed and you can choose you want

just like "visual studio" & "Dev-C++"

it is a very useful "function" when the data structures of a program are complicated

but when I start to edit, I find this "function" is not work

so, How could I use the "function" ? Is something I ignored ?

Please kindly let me know or teach me, and thanks very much!

Hi,

I am not sure I fully understand your question. By default if you type "." or "->" or "::" it tries to auto-complete. In some cases it does not work well (if there are too many options or indexer was not built yet) or can even hang eclipse for a while. I found it helpful to change this behavior (Window->Preferences->C/C++->Editor->Content Assist). In order to get auto-complete explicitly, use "CTRL+SPACE".

Thanks,
Yevgeny
