We are always looking for ways to make you more productive while coding in Visual Studio. <\/span>In<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Visual Studio 2019<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>version\u00a0<\/span>16.2<\/span><\/a>, we have created a smarter, more relevant Member List. Specifically, we now apply method filtering based on type qualifiers. To illustrate this, consider the following example:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You have two vectors, but one is\u00a0<\/span>const<\/span><\/code>.\u00a0<\/span>When we invoke the member list on<\/span>\u00a0the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>non-const vector<\/span>, we see the option for\u00a0<\/span>push_back<\/span><\/code>. However, when we invoke the member list on<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>const<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>vec<\/span>tor<\/span>, Visual Studio<\/span>\u00a0now<\/span>\u00a0knows not to display<\/span>\u00a0any<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>non-const members on a const object<\/span>:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

Even More Filtering<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you wish to benefit further from Member List<\/span>\u00a0and completion<\/span>\u00a0filtering, try out\u00a0<\/span>Predictive IntelliSense<\/span>. As an experimental feature, Predictive IntelliSense is disabled by default, but can be enabled under<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Tools > Options > Text Editor > C\/C++ > Experimental.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0Or simply type \u201cpredictive\u201d in the (Ctrl + Q) Search Bar.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Currently, Predictive IntelliSense<\/span>\u00a0filters by type when you’re in a<\/span>n argument or assignment position<\/span>. In the example below,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>i<\/span><\/code>\u00a0<\/span>is of type\u00a0<\/span>int<\/span><\/code>, so Predictive IntelliSense only shows\u00a0<\/span>int<\/span><\/code>\u00a0<\/span>items in the completion list.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Note<\/span><\/b>:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>I<\/span>f you ever wish to\u00a0<\/span>un<\/span>–<\/span>filter<\/span>\u00a0the completion list, just click the green \u201c+\u201d symbol in the bottom left of the list.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
