code completion help...

[christopher j bottaro]

hello,

i've been writing some code to do code completion in kdevelop, but i've run 
into some gui problems.

so far it works like this, take for instance you got in your cpp editor view 
the following code:

void CClassParser::emptyStack()
{
  while( !lexemStack.isEmpty() )
  delete lexemStack.pop();
}

and then you type...

void CClassParser::emptyStack()
{
  while( !lexemStack.isEmpty() )
  delete lexemStack.pop();
  store->
}

well, a little QListBox appears filled with all the methods declared in 
CClassStore (store's type).  my prob is i want to list box to appear directly 
under the cursor, not in the upperleft corner of the CEditWidget.  i can't 
figure it out.  i tried grabbing XPos and YPos from kWriteView, but 
appearently they don't refer to where the cursor is.

also, how can i set the QListBox to:
1)  have a frame (without a titlebar, close box, i.e. not a top level widget)
2)  be resizable
3)  not make the kWriteView lose focus when you click on an item in the list 
box.  to elaborate, i don't want the cursor to disappear from the editor 
widget when i highlight an item in the listbox with the mouse.

thanks so much for the help.  maybe if (i ever) finish this and its quality 
is usable, i can submit it for review and i can be put in a future release of 
kdevelop?

so far its pretty fast at determining what scope the cursor is in and 
populating and displaying the listbox after typing "." or "->".
