Trouble with wxscintilla autocompletion

[Lalaland]

The following code will not complete the word "two" despite it being on the list and seeing it in the results.
It strangely does complete "tuesday"
Any ideas why?

#include <sdk.h> // Code::Blocks SDK
#include <configurationpanel.h>

// We are using an anonymous namespace so we don't litter the global one.

    PluginRegistrant<Stuff> reg(_T("Stuff"));

int onCompleteId = wxNewId();

// events handling

void Stuff::onStuff(wxCommandEvent &evt)

    cbEditor* editor = (cbEditor*)Manager::Get()->GetEditorManager()->GetActiveEditor();
    cbStyledTextCtrl *control = editor->GetControl();

//final = _("Hello boo");
    control->AutoCompShow(pos-start,final );

}

// constructor

    // Make sure our resources are available.
    // In the generated boilerplate code we have no resources but when
    // we add some, it will be nice that this code is in place already ;)
    if(!Manager::LoadResource(_T("Stuff.zip")))

    // m_IsAttached will be TRUE...
    // You should check for it in other functions, because if it
    // is FALSE, it means that the application did *not* "load"
    // (see: does not need) this plugin...
}

void Stuff::OnRelease(bool appShutDown)
{
    // do de-initialization for your plugin
    // if appShutDown is true, the plugin is unloaded because Code::Blocks is being shut down,
    // which means you must not use any of the SDK Managers
    // NOTE: after this function, the inherited member variable
    // m_IsAttached will be FALSE...
}


void Stuff::BuildMenu(wxMenuBar* menuBar)
{
    //The application is offering its menubar for your plugin,
    //to add any menu items you want...
    //Append any items you need in the menu...
    //NOTE: Be careful in here... The application's menubar is at your disposal.

        wxMenu* menu = menuBar->GetMenu(menuBar->FindMenu(_("&Edit")));

    menu->Append(onCompleteId, _("Stuff\tCtrl-F2"));

you need to case invariant sort the list of words.

Code Select Expand


int cmp(const wxString &f,const wxString &s)
{
    if(f.Upper()==s.Upper())
        return 0;
    if(f.Upper()>s.Upper())
        return 1;
    return -1;
}

//...

    foo.Sort(cmp);

//...


(Also why are you using a space separated instead of newline separated?)

    control->AutoCompSetSeparator(' ');

You are right, I need to case sort the words and then it works perfectly.
I was planning on sorted them by a "priority" too, but I guess that is no longer a valid option.

I used a space separator because the place where I found the rest of the code(the current code completion plugin) used a space separator.
I am going to switch to a newline separator now.

I guess you could roll your own completion combo box and then you can do whatever you want. (This may be a faulty memory, but I vaguely recall a handwritten completion control in older versions of the C::B CC plugin)
