Quick Info

Quick Info is a list of syntax information on commands, functions, variables and properties, methods, and events of instantiated objects.

Quick Info is usually activated by the left (open) parenthesis for functions and with a space (" ") for commands.

When you enter the name of a valid Visual FoxPro statement or function, the syntax, with the first parameter in bold font, displays immediately below the current line. After you enter an argument value, the next argument appears in bold font.

The status of Quick Info can be changed to Auto, Manual or Disabled within the General tab of the IntelliSense Manager. For more information, see Visual FoxPro IntelliSense Manager Window. You can also use the _vfp.EditorOptions property to programmatically change the status of Quick Info to Auto, Manual or Disabled. For more information, see EditorOptions Property.

When set to Automatic, Quick Info appears when an Activator key is pressed. With Quick Info set to Manual, you can activate Quick Info with the Edit menu or shortcut menu or using CTRL+I if the cursor is positioned at a location with available Quick Info.

Quick Info is available wherever you can type Visual FoxPro code, including the Visual FoxPro Editor, the Command window, and all code window editors.
