how can i do that ?

[prateek narang]

hi! all,
i hope that some of u are aware of the way some IDE works with intelligent typing feature. For example you type some object, and IDE automatically shows all it's methods/properties in a list from which u can select anyone.
i want to implement this same feature in the editor for java, which i am making. Means i want to place item list on existing text area.
how can i do that ?

Hi Prateek,
You can use a popup menu to perform that. I have not done it however ...
Good Luck,
Manfred

You would also need to use the Reflection abilities of Java. Whatever word the cursor is right beside when you type '.', you would need to introspect this class and find out what it's methods and fields are.. so you'd know what to put in your popup menu.

hi prateek,
U can use JDeveloper from Oracle corporation or JBuilder to get ur project work. I know u were asking about the MS Visual studio kind of thing. so u can use Jdeveloper , it's good and i like it very much.
bye for now
