Turn off a feature

[block_head]

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I only recently picked up programming as a hobby. Code Blocks is great to work in, but I want to turn off a feature and dont know how. The options I can find are all gibberish to me.

Say I am typing scanf("%i",&number);, by the time I get to the first '(' there is this annoying pop-up, like a mouse-over text that says "_CRTIMP int_cdecl_MINGW_NOTHROW" which covers whatever I am typing until I get to the ';'.

I'm sure this is a helpful feature for people who know what this means, but can I turn this off? Been living with this for a while, but finally decided to see if something can be done.

Thank you.

What version of C::B are you using? I think I've fixed this problem long ago.

[block_head]

Sorry, should have mentioned that. It's CB 12.11.

Can you post a screenshot? Use a pastebin like service for images, because forum space is a bit limited.

I think the misfeature that you're talking about is "SmartSense". This can be turned off under Settings --> Editor --> Code Completion.

  oBFusCATed I thank you for taking the time to look at my problem. What Thomas has suggested has solved my problem.
Settings>Editor>Disable Code Completion
has done it for me.
Appreciate the help.
God Bless

Can you post the screenshot with the option enabled?

(the option is "Display info when hovering blabla")

I went out after my last post, so took a while to post this.
Here is a screenshot, problem is, it no longer covers my cursor. Go figure!
But that "mouseover text" would appear over my cursor, so I either had to hit the up or down arrow keys to go down or up, to lose the text and type in peace again. For some reason it appears lower now. I understand why you would want to see this, so here it is.

When typing near the bottom of editor window, the pop-up window will block the typing.



If I narrow down the window width, the situation will become worse.

Where is your cursor located? On the printf line?

No, it's on the memcpy line.

Works perfectly here on linux, can you try the latest nightly to see if it is fixed?

[zetab]

Just tried on nightly rev9158, yes, it's already fixed.

[oBFusCATed]

OK then, seems I've fixed it after 12.11

I am getting this same problem in 12.11, on vista. every time I turn off smartsense it turns back on by itself...

if I turn off code completion this goes away but I don't really want to do that
