Is there a way to filter content assist proposals to show only a specific type? [message #210410]

Hi, is it possible to (basically) restrict the content assist proposals to
only show a specific type? For example, in some cases we would like to
only search for specific element types (like elements typed to ClassXXX).

Is this possible? Is it possible to extend the content assist to do this?

Thanks in advance,
Adam

There are two possibilities:

1) You can implement a filter for proposals (extension point
org.eclipse.cdt.ui.ProposalFilter)

2) You can implement another completion proposal computer + category
(extension point org.eclipse.cdt.ui.completionProposalComputer) and
enable it on the Content Assist > Advanced preference page and/or assign
a special key binding for it.

1) easy, I should note that the implementation also has to filter
duplicates as the default does.
2) advanced, drawback is: you probably need to reference some internal
classes (see DOMCompletionProposalComputer)
