Hi All,

Foxpro intellisense is called "unique and vast" in comparison to other programming languages (stated by many experienced UT members). But I don't see its uniqueness or vastness, in contrary I think that Foxpro Intellisense has some major shortcomings. I find the most annoying thing that when working with (program) subclasses that I can't get the properties and methods of its parentclasses. For example:
*** Creator of the coverages
DEFINE CLASS  AbstractCreator as Custom 
 
oCoverages = null

FUNCTION init () 
	this.oCoverages = NEWOBJECT("Collection")
	this.CreateCoverages()
ENDFUNC 

*abstract function* 
FUNCTION CreateCoverages()

ENDDEFINE 


DEFINE CLASS ConcreteCreator as AbstractCreator

FUNCTION CreateCoverages()
	oLife = CREATEOBJECT("LifeCoverage")
	this.oCoverages.Add(oLife) 
** After typing "this", I want intellisense to pop up 
** and showing the parent properties and methods, but unfortunately...
ENDFUNC 

ENDDEFINE 
How are you dealing with this? I can't imagine that you take these things for granted...

Thanks beforehand.
