How to: Edit IntelliSense Records

You can add new items to the IntelliSense table or edit existing items. You can edit user-defined items in the IntelliSense table using the Visual FoxPro IntelliSense Manager or all IntelliSense records by opening and browsing the table directly or accessing the table programmatically.

    Note

    The Add button becomes available when you initially select a type other than Command.

  4. Click Add.

    A new record appears at the beginning of the table displayed on the Custom tab.

  5. In the Replace box, type the characters to replace with text in the With box.

    Note

    When you type the characters in the Replace box at the appropriate cursor location, the text you specify in the With box replaces the text you typed.

  6. In the With box, type the characters you want to use to replace the text in the Replace box.

  7. To add code to the Data field, click Script.

    An editor window opens so you can add code to the Data field for that item.

    The IntelliSense table opens so you can edit other fields in the record.
