Disabling intellisense in literal strings ?

Question

Hi,

Seems VS 2022 now triggers intellisense as well in literal strings. Can I disable that ? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi @SCRIBE Patrice ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

From the document: Use IntelliSense.

The cursor is in a string literal. You can't use IntelliSense if the cursor is in the quotation marks around a string literal:
MessageBox( hWnd, "String literal|")

It shows that the IntelliSense is not supported in string literal.

If it is in a C++ project, please try to disable IntelliSense by going to Tools > Options > Text Editor > C/C++ > Advanced.

Sincerely,
Anna

It was in a VB.NET project with which I'm not used to work but I can't repro this right now. My guess is that I had maybe an earlier error causing intellisense to be triggered unexpectedly ?
