>I'm not so sure. Historically, MS is pretty reticient about revealing future features. As a matter of fact, I was surprised that they showed as much as I've heard they did. So let's talk about that...

>AFAIK, for Intellisense to work across multiple environments it would have to heavily utilize Windows messaging services. Further, given the component design direction currently being utilized, it doesn't make much sense to me that they would build in this feature independently of its implementation elsewheres. This has served to add "fuel" to the "fire" of my speculation. However, I should point out again, that's just what this is.

One of the purposes, however, of my post was to point out that there are practical considerations connected directly with the VFP internals that have to be taken into account. In this instance, this has been a "feature" that has been desired for some time. Whether or not it's realized may be dependent on my earlier points.

Join the crowd of SWAGgers, but from hallucinating between the lines, I got the feeling from the presentation on the VFP7 Intellisense at the DevCon presentation that it was going to make use of some of VFP's database technology, giving us the ability to extend the Intellisense functionality. maybe a Ken Levy-esque IntellisenseX type concept. Certainly, there were some things that were demonstrated that are not part of Intellisense as we see it in other existing Visual Studio products today.
