The "..." bug

The device IDE will completely crash when you try to type two or more dots in a row. Only killing the task could stop it.

Can you give more detail on how to demonstrate this problem. I can't reproduce it on either my Axim X30 (WM2003) or my HTC Diamond (WM6.1).

It invariably happens if I type Label.Text="Loading..."

I tried your example on my Qtek9090, without any problem ?!
Are you shure that it's
Label.Text="Loading..."
and not
Labe1.Text="Loading..."
After having typed the dot after Label. do you get the popup menu with the parameter list ?
If no, that means that the name of your Label Control is wrong ?

Best regards.

Just an example. In my case, it's LblLoading.Text="Loading..." and it bugs at the second dot after "Loading"

This works with other labels too.

Not on either of my devices I'm afraid

Well I got that on both my Touch and my Diamond (and maybe my TyTN, I don't remember)

One of my devices is a Diamond. Have you an sbp file that exhibits the problem when you type into it that you can post so I can try it on my Diamond in case the behaviour is dependant on something else in the code?

Device and Desktop IDE:

Textbox1.Text="port open"

When I place a full stop between n and " I get a pop up list.
How strange . . . .

Try it

Are you sure you don't have a control called "open"? It didn't happen for me until I named a control "open" then I got the popup. The autocomplete seems not very (at all!) context sensitive.
