Please guide me, how do you enable autocomplete functionality in VS C++? By auto-complete, I mean, when I put a dot after control name, the editor should display a dropdown menu to select from.

Thank you.

Start writing, then just press CTRL+SPACE and there you go ...

  • Goto => Tools >> Options >> Text Editor >> C/C++ >> Advanced >> IntelliSense
  • Change => Member List Commit Aggressive to True

Include the class that you are using Within your text file, then intelliSense will know where to look when you type within your text file. This works for me.

So it’s important to check the Unreal API to see where the included class is so that you have the path to type on the include line. Hope that makes sense.
