drop box [message #856312] Wed, 25 April 2012 10:55 Go to next message

Hi,
I am new to eclipse.
When i write code there is a box that appears that helps me pick out the functions or the next word i need in my code.
But i don't know how to make it appear.
It appears when i don't want it and it never appears when i need it.
I don't know what the box is called. I named it drop box.
How do you make the box appear?
Below is a link to a picture of the box(it has the android functions in it)

How do i make the box appear?

It's called Eclipse Content Assist. It's configurable, but it's set up
to appear when, because you have the source or Javadoc for the interface
you're using, it recognizes that you're typing in (a method name or
other interface) or when you type Ctrl-Space.
