Enum of possible options for TestComplete Element not showing up in Autocomplete / Code Completion

I have a question,   I have a small script used to select values for different controls on a webpage. Because these values are finite, they are a perfect candidate for an Enum, so as to reduce the ...

Start typing the option value, character per character till to the minimum length needed to raise the autocomplete list.

I have done that, as well as pressing ctrl+space to force the autocomplete window to come up. Nothing happens either way. Am I missing something?

    did you put a wait in typing with the '[Pxxx]' syntax ?

     

    Sounds strange, do you have access to dev team ? if yes please ask them how they've implemented the autocomplete, perhaps it's not a standard way.

     

    The code below just check if autocomplete has occured and filled correctly the field (TextInput) with the wanted value (Value).

    I've put a click on the field each characted typed, this is the only trick used.

     

              let i = 0;
          while ((!(TextInput.WaitProperty(PropertyName, Value, 100))) && (i<10)) {
            TextInput.Click();
            if (ClearField)
              TextInput.Keys('^a[Del]');
            let tableau = Value.split("");
            for (let j = 0; j<tableau.length; j++) {
              TextInput.Click();
              TextInput.Keys(tableau[j] + '[P250]');
              if (TextInput.WaitProperty(PropertyName, Value, 100))
                break;
            }
            i++;
          }

      No, I'm not talking about having autocomplete happen on the application under test. I'm talking about autocomplete in TestComplete itself when writing the script using javascript.

        Lol .. did not understand that !

        Sorry...

         

        For code completion in TC, if even ctrl+space doesn't work on trivial case, need perhaps to contact Support.

         

        Have you activated the code completion auto pop-up settings ? In tools -> options -> Panels -> Code editor -> Editing 

         

         

        For your completion it will not work in this case unlesss you add your constants in an extension language package.
