Tooltip doesnt show up with new 2.6.0.4189

Post by hbr_in »

Dear Eran,

Yesterday i upgraded CL from 2.5.3.4075 to 2.6.0.4189. Now, i am not able to see the Tooltips in editor window. However, goto implementation & goto declaration works (Well for some). I tried retagging workspace (FULL) & create CScope Database but No Go. Ctrl+Space brings up the tooltips. But it doesnt do it automatically like it used to do b4.

Am i missing some new settings.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Can you give me a code snippet?

BTW: Ctrl-SPACE does not show a tooltip, it shows the 'Completion Box' the tooltip is another entity
Also, which OS?

You take the same example from http://codelite.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1022. None of the variables shows its Tooltips

Yes. U are right. it was a mistake in my part.
eranif wrote: Also, which OS?
Windows XP SP3

Also, I hace installed CL 2.6 over the previous 2.5.3. Does it make any difference.
Should i completely uninstall CL 2.5.3 including the directory from "c:\program files" & then reinstall 2.6.

Also. The sytax highlight Settings are not stored between the installs. I think they are overwritten.
Thanks for helping

Regards

code completion is working fine.

Its the tooltip thats not working correctly. If i move the mouse over the variables, functions, macros, defines, it shows there type, syntax, defines etc, etc..
it doesn happen anymore.

Sorry if i am not clear.

TIA

Take a look if 'Tags Options/General/Display type info tooltips' is checked.

because the code-completion settings were overwritten by the installer ( on purpose )

But i thought Code completion & tool tips were different and noting to do with each other. They just borrow data from codelite indexer.

Also, one more thing.

In my syntax highlight settings, Under C++ tab, i had set few items for set-1, set-2. After installing 2.6 they were gone. Why was it overwritten.
Atleast While installing, shouldnt the installer complain that it will overwrite the settings.
