DW CS3 missing code hinting

I see this same question posted on the discussion boards and no one has a good answer; if one at all.
Control + Spacebar is not bringing up code hints.

> can anyone explain why this might be happening?
Could only be attributed to user error.
Can you give us a set of steps that causes this to happen
reliably?

Dreamweaver CS3 Code Hints

Has anyone experienced problems with DW CS3's code hints for
ColdFusion? I've installed the CF8 extensions, but the code hints
don't work properly in Windows XP (My Mac version works fine).
Basically, the "hints" for tags work, but only to an extent.
For example, I've found the code hints for CFWINDOW do not provide
the color picker for bgcolor in the style attribute. Funny quirks
such as that.

are you implying that the newer versions of IIS might be more up to date than the cs3 dreamweaver and that is where my problems will arise?
I am not implying anything. I am simply wondering if the IIS is configured properly. Have you tried creating a basic static page and load it in your browser to see if it loads OK?
Obviously, without looking at your code it is almost impossible to say anything meaningful. However, I suggest post your query at this link:

Code Hints Problem - CS3

I just got Flash CS3 today, I have it installed and I
uninstalled Flash 8 after I installed Flash CS3, the problem is,
code hints don't display anymore like it did before when I type
"on(" or whatever, and I really need them, they are my lifesaver.
Yes, I do have them enabled in the settings, and they just don't
show up.
Oh yeah, it doesn't show up for AS3, AS2/Flash Player 8
settings work fine.
I'm running Vista.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about. Grabs taken
while authoring an external class (.as) file in CS3.
No "method completion" hint like I would get in Studio 8:
img1
And I get all the AS3 methods and properties because there is
apparently no way to tell Flash that I want this .as file to be an
AS 2.0 class - note the lack of properties like _alpha:
img2
So, seriously, am I missing something or did Adobe just make
Flash CS3 even worse than Studio 8 for authoring AS 2.0 classes?

CSS Code Hints in CS3

I'm new to DW (CS3). I'm making an external CSS and when I
press return to get a new line I get a code hint that pops up to
select which attribute I might want next. I find if I click on an
item in the list it is not entered for me.
If I use the arrow keys and press return/enter it accepts it
an enters it for me.
Is this how it is supposed to work? That seems like an error
to me.

As you type the hint zeros in on the rule that you want (or
you can use the
up and down keyboard arrows to select the rule that you want)
Once the
desired rule is highlighted pressing the Enter key on your
keyboard will
place the rule in your stylesheet.

Missing Spry Code Hint files? (CS4)

I noticed that when I insert a Spry validation text field, it
no longer hints me to the type and options fields like it did in
dreamweaver CS3. I looked in the configuration/CodeHints folder and
I only see a code hint files for a few components. Is there a place
I can download the rest?

About the gallery:
I asume u downloaded the whole 1,6 framework package.
In this package u will find a folder with "demos". In this
folder u will find the source of all de demos u see on the website.
About the effects:
That is a demo where Adobe shows HOW u can build your
effects.(the one's u see are premade / often used effects) If u
wish to learn more about creating your own effects, check out that
source code / and / or

Code hints and Design view preview missing

Using FB with Flex sdk 3.3 and AFCS SDK 0.91. I installed the
SDK per the instructions in the ACFS dev guide. I then added the
FP9 afcs.swc to my project build path and compile for fp 9.0.124
The sample apps do compile and run.
However
1. I am getting no code hinting for the acfs classes
2. IN design view, the components show as white rectangles
with red x's and obscure the flex components
3. The design view>components view, the acfs folder is
empty, while the "custom" folder is full of acfs components.
Any idea as to what might be incorrect?
Thanks,
Will

Hi Will,
I think it turns out we made a slight error in the dev guide
in the setup instructions - we mention that you should link the
AFCS source into your project in order to debug. Unfortunately this
seems to override the useful metadata baked into the SWC which
makes the SDK work with FB more seamlessly.
Advice : Remove the source path, then go to the library
path. Where you see AFCS.swc, expand it and select "source
attachment". Hit the edit button and add the source path there.
This seems to do the trick, allowing you to debug into the code
without overriding the swc itself.
We'll get the docs fixed up to reflect this better way to
set up the SDK.
thanks

Code hinting for HTML5 missing or lost

I have CS6 Dreamweaver and just started to experiment with HTML5.
My understanding is the code hinting is available for HTML5.
However, when I try to use any HTML5 specific tags, there does not seem to be any hinting, nor indication of the tag itself.
For instance, if start to type the "header" tag, that tag never shows in the drop-down list. If I manually use the header tag, no code hinting appears to help complete this tag.
I have verified that I am using the appropriate doctype, and for the new page, used DW's HTML5 to create the new page.
Since this is my first attempt to use HTML5, I really don't know if the hinting was available on the initial CS6 install.
A few weeks ago, I did the recommended upgrade to 12.1.
In doing so, I found I lost a number of settings, and had to reapply several extensions.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/4744158#4744158
Whether this absense of HTML5 code hinting was related to this, I don't know as never really knew whether I had it initially.
Would appreciate any help or direction. Is there an extension that would apply these? I had to reapply the extension for my ColdFusion hinting; but, I thought that HTML5 hinting was built into the CS6 version.
Thanks for any help.

The thread of Code Hinting not working in CS5.5 might be of help.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3936984#3936984
I did not try the modifying stuff with the TagLibraries.vtm file, as not sure want take chance of screwing up what I have!
However, did look at that TagLibraries.vtm file from my CS6 installation, and all the HTML5 tags are there (canvas, header, footer, etc.). Also, shows my ColdFusion tags and many other sets.
However, in my preferences in DW interface -- code hinting -- none of the HTML5 specific tags show up at all. All the others listed in the TagLibraries.vtm other than HTML5 specific.
I guess I could try the posters renaming TagLibraries.vtm, starting DW, then closing, and restoring the name and restart. But, I'm hesitant to start messing around in the core of DW.

VBScript editor with Intellisense/Code Hinting support for Adobe App

I am looking for some tool to write my InDesign VBScript files in. I would really like to know if there is any which support Intellisense/Code hinting for Adobe programs (InDesign especialy). Do you have anything to recommend?
I am quite good at hacking my computer, so no registry change etc. is a problem for me, I just can not find any. I already tried PrimalScript 2009 but it doesn not work.
What I need is that in following block of code
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS4")
Set myDialog = myInDesign.Dialogs.Add
I will get list of all methods/properties after I write the dot after "myInDesign" in second line. But it never worked. I even tried to put "InDesign.Application.CS4/C:\ProgramData\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\cs_CZ\Scripting Support\6.0\Resources for Visual Basic.tlb" line into Options>Text editor>Type libraries.
I am using Windows Vista SP1 and I have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 installed (upgrade from CS3 which was upgraded from CS2)
Thanks a lot for any help/suggestion, as I start feeling desperate.

Hi Everyone!
As I have said, I waited for next service release, which is as of now PrimalScript 2009 version 5.0.614 and I did some testing with it.
Results:
WinXP EN Professional
- Just pointing PrimalScript 2009 to typelib, no creative suite installed, working
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 Czech (trial mode) - Working, no need to setup anything
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 + CS4 Czech (trial mode) - Need to point PrimalScript 2009 to correct typelib, then 100% working
Windows Vista SP1 Ultimate EN (in trial/not activated mode)
- Just pointing PrimalScript 2009 to typelib, no creative suite installed, working
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 Czech (trial mode) - Need to point PrimalScript 2009 to correct typelib, then 100% working
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 + CS4 Czech (trial mode) - Need to point PrimalScript 2009 to correct typelib, then 100% working
Windows 7
I am not planning to use Win7 in near future, so I did not not run any test on it.
Windows Vista SP1 Home Premium Slovak (fully activated)
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 + CS4 Czech (full mode) - Not working. This is my main machine. It is Creative Suite CS2 upgraded to CS3 then CS4 (it is running for years without reinstall). I use CS3/CS4 side by side for some older projects. There are still references to CS2 in registry. I tried pointing PrimalScript 2009 to correct typelib, but to no avail. My conclussion is that there is someting messed with its config or registry, but I am pretty sure it would run after complete system reinstall.
Both WinXP EN Pro and Vista SP1 Ultimate EN were clean install into MS Virtual PC 2007, with only Creative Suite and PrimalScript 2009 5.0.614 installed into each machine so I made sure there are no other issues involved.
As I spend 80% of my time with developement of websites and scripting of MS Office/Creative Suite, I have some virtual machines set up for testing purposes. I will use one of them for development in PrimalScript and move it to main (real) Windows Vista Home Premium Slovak installed once I will decide to completely reinstall it. The need for seting up the typelibray link is no deal for me, as it is working as expected then, and I expect a lot ;-)
So problem solved, I found o program I will use. There may be others which do better or are cheaper (but I do not know about any) but $299 is not a big issue when I get what I want.
P.S.: The solution with making VBScript code with VBA declaration (using Dim) is not a solution I like, as I would need to comment it out everytime I run/edit the script and it would be pain in the *** while debugging it as i would need to do lot of comment/uncomment cycles and i can use my ime better then doing the monkey work as some fo the scripts I write are quite huge and I prefer to build them incrementaly and test/debug a lot.
I wish to thank everyone for their help and suggestions,
Matus

Ctrl + Spacebar will not bring up code hints either

I'm using Windows XP CS3 with Dreamweaver from Creative Suite CS4. I cannot get code hints (when enabled) or when I press Ctrl + Spacebar.
When I press Ctrl + Spacebar nothing happens.

Take a look at:

CSS code hinting

In FB 2.0.1 The CSS editor seems quite weak. I finally
learned to get a hint in some places by pressing cntrl-space. This
will get you the things that can be set such as font-family. You
then have to type the colon yourself. I can't seem to get any hints
of what the values on the right of the colon should be. What am I
missing? The CSS editor in Dreamweaver is much better. I have some
vague memory of things being better in 2.0. When you look in
preferences there is no sign of the CSS editor.

Forgive me for saying this but some people don't seem to realize that CC 2014 is not an upgrade to CC. In fact, it's a separate installation of DW. Does code hinting work in CC13 but not in CC14?

Code Hinting and coloring Feature not working

In most of the related pages the code hinting feature is working great but in this asp page it give a warning saying : there is a syntax error on line xxxx. Code hinting may not work until you fix this error.
the code is as follows
<%
     sub jsWindowOnLoad()
%>
     <script type="text/javascript">
     function init1()
         <% '''''this place error
               if cp_name="Event" then
       %>
          dp_start_date = new Epoch('epoch_popup','popup',document.getElementById('Start_dt'));
          dp_end_date = new Epoch('epoch_popup','popup',document.getElementById('End_dt'));
          <%        .         %>
       </script>
<%
     end sub
%>
the ' <% ' marked with a comment is the place where the prompt appears.....
It is stored as .asp file
this file is is used as an include file in many other files....and apparently wherever this file appears in the include section the code hinting for that .asp file goes haywire. also all the asp and javascript code appears in the same color throughout the asp file.
due to the non working of code hinting and coloring my speed of development and error debugging is greatly reduced .... kindly suggest what can be done
just to clarify.....There is no problem in execution....everything works absolutely fine (even in the above code...) only no code hinting and color !!!

An example zip containing a simple project would be very helpful. Can you provide one or maybe a link to one?
My first guess would be that you're missing the Flex project nature on your project. You can add it by right clicking on your project and select Add/Change Project Type > Add Flex Project Type...
From there, you'll have to fix your project properties Flex Build Path > "Main source folder" to point to parent/flex-project or wherever the root of your flex source files are.

CS5 code hinting & optional params...

Code hinting looks to work just fine for me, unless the params are optional. It doesn't hint that at all. Am I missing something I need to set?

Code hints don't work - include files using a variable

In Dreamweaver CS 5.5 code hints didn't work properly.
DW would not look at my code and find the include files and look at the functions inside them when using a variable to make an absolute path, which is the best way to include files in PHP (its faster and more reliable on your web server)
Here is an example:
======================================
public_html/util/util_index.php
$DIR_MAIN =dirname(dirname(__FILE__).'../');
require_once "$DIR_MAIN/init.php";
my_function(#CODE COMPLETE DOES NOT WORK HERE
public_html/init.php
$DIR_INCLUDE= "$DIR_MAIN/inc";
require "$DIR_INCLUDE/common_functions.php";
#set up environment variables
#connect to the database
#etc
public_html/inc/common_functions.php
function my_function(param1, param2, param3) {
=======================================
Has this been fixed in Dreamweaver CS6 or should I wait until CS7?
Until this works, I prefer Notepad++

I made a full SQL Developer installation with Java included, so I suppose that the included version is used.
After a problem with the German Version I tried to switch to English Version by using the hint:
link: 1.5.4 export insert statements
I changed the content of sqldeveloper.conf and now again the code templates (strg-shift-t) don't work!!!
(I already rebooted and set the accelerators to default, but it didn't help now.)
This is the content of my sqldeveloper.conf now:
"IncludeConfFile ../../ide/bin/ide.conf

Flash Builder 4.6 code hinter problem - not showing some methods

Hi All,
I have a problem with FB code hinter. It does not show some methods on an object.
To be exact I created a Date object and FB code hinter does not show .toDateString method (actually I it shows only one to string method - .ToString(), although according to docs there are more)
When I use .toDateString method, code still compiles and work just fine, however method is not showing up in code hinter, which is really annoying..
Anyone had this problem? If so, please, share some wisdom how to solve this thing.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
Here is some more info in my problem.
I have tried to reinstall the application, but it did not help.
So what I did was:
* first I installed FB standard edition version 4.
* I checked the code hinter and it worked. It showed .toDateString method.
* I have purchased FB standard 4.5 upgrade.
* I installed this upgrade, and boom the code hinter does not show the method...
* Next I tried to create a project with Flex 4.1 sdk and then it worked - method was there. So the problem is with 4.6 sdk apparently...sucks...

Hi, I have the same problem. I have a new FB 4.6 installation and it is my first FB installation. Do you have a solution already?
