Visual studio - intellisense - auto completion

I wonder if prediction or autocompletition of variable's name is implemented in intellisense...

What I know is that when you write until the dot(.) or the arrow(->) intellisense will show you the options available. But, is there any key that shows me the variable names even when I have not finished writting them? (not only their properties or methods)

for example.
suppose I have

Code:

---

Int aVeryLongNameForMyInt;

---

then some where when I type for example "aVeryL" it would be awesome that i could see "ongNameForMyInt" as an option or even better see it autocompleted : "aVeryLongNameForMyInt"
I hope my explanation was good enough

Any help would be very appreciated.


(Sometimes there are too many variables and cannot memorize all of them completely)

Yes, just press CTRL-SPACE and it will expand whatever you have typed into what it thinks you mean, and it's context sensitive. It doesn't work for EVERYTHING, but most of the time it does.

You should be able to press Alt+Right Arrow to manually invoke intellisense. From there it displays all of the variables, functions, types, ect. within the current scope.

It doesn't do this automatically, though.
I would try SwiftOutlaw's suggestion.
Another option for more advanced IntelliSense is Virtual Assist X. It's a plugin and it's damned expensive, but it's very good.

You just type "int main()" and it completes the program? :-)

Code:

---

int main()
{
    std::wcout << L"You have been hax0rred by yours truly, Visual Assist X!\n"
        L"Thank you for purchasing Visual Assist X. We shall now proceed to wipe out your hard drive! Thanks again."
        L"\n\nSincerely, The Visual Assist X Team.";
}

How's that for code completion? ;)
