Can I inactivate little helper window inside editing area ?

Post by webmosaics »

Hello You all !

There is a little helper feature in the very nice WeBuilder leading you when creating some special code like arrays e.g.
As soon as I wrote 'array' and the opening bracket, a little helper box appears telling me how to create a correct array syntax in PHP. At first it might be helpfull, but when editing large scale arrays or other file content it makes nervous to endure this obtrusive little window appearing always right there, where my workflow is going sometimes right above my desired cursor. Ok go scrolling or wait until it dissapears . . .
Can I buy a special (software) gun at Blumenthals' to shoot this nervous little helper or is there some secret spell to inactivate this ?
I will be very pleased if somebody can help me with this nervous little guy !

Thank You and have anice day !

Go to Preferences window and under Language Options -> PHP, turn off "Automatic PHP function suggestions"

Thank You, Aivars for your qiuck help !

I did so but it hasn't effect!
I use the version 11.2 (11.2.0.129) German
There the way is: Optionen -> Voreinstellungen -> Sprachoptionen -> PHP -> Automatische Vorschläge für PHP-Funktionen;
uncheck the checkbox, click 'Übernehmen' ,'OK' right?

It's quite the same - It tries to teach to teach me to build an array . . .

It's a bug! Sorry about that.

In this case you can empty WeBuilder 2011\data\phpfunc.ini, phpfunc_names.ini, phpfunc_show.ini - or just delete the array reference from these files.

Thank You, Aivars !

I temporarily renamed the files, the bug is "fixed" for the time. I think you get it fixed with a new update . . .
Nevertheless it's really a mighty tool and and a very good editor for professional use !

Good luck with your future works !
