If I'm understanding your question, you're suppossed to hit TAB to complete
and dismiss the dropdown.

Hit [TAB], not [ENTER].

I don't have a copy of VB2008 at the moment but as I recall, you should hit
the key that you would logically be about to hit if you had typed the last
character of the item being selected via intellisense.

Studio will then use that key in the manner it would normally.

Thus if you use enter, vs will complete and add a line....If you use space
vs will complete and add a space... finally if you hit .(period), then vs
will complete and add a period. this will likely Trigger a further round
of intellisense.

Hi,
I'm a C/C++/C# programmer going over VB and trying to learn it. The one
thing I love about VS is intellisense, but it is very hard to get used to
the VB way, especially after I select an item in the popdown list and press
Enter to put it in. VB in VS seems to go to the next line. At any rate, I
don't like using the mouse. My question:

When typing in property, then pressing Tab...Tab, it code completes a
property for me (got to love it). You Tab around to change the variable
names, BUT, why is it when i press Enter, it doesn't complete it, it puts
everything on the next line...? What are the key combo to "complete" what
I'm doing in VB's VS2008?

Thank you.
