You can also access Auto-completion by pressing Ctrl+SpaceBar (at any time during your edition).

In the configuration for auto-completion, there is an option for "Function Completion":

But for this working, you will need to unpack xBase.rar (here attached file) and put in
C:\Arquivos de programas\Notepad++\plugins\APIs folder.

Thank you Pablo.

If everything goes well, we can include these features default in our next release.

Let us know if is working for you. I will work on in this xBase file to update and I will try to put the sintax of each item

at the step as I could update with a new version I also will change the file comment version for downloading, by this means always will be the latest version of the file.

=== VERY IMPORTANT ===

I just started to re-edit xBase file for "Function completion" and I could not show function sintax without the function name. So I do not know if all of you prefer with or with sintax, see image below:

The main problem when is opted with function sintax that is that is bringing it all together for souce editor.

Without function sintax only function name is bringing.

I will need your prompt responses soon as posible, because I am in doubt what is better for all of us.
(with sintax or without it)

In my opinion, I prefer with sintax, because with it we can making use of the variable names (in standard format) into source editor.

I get the auto completion working in my system.

It will be helpful if we have the function name along with the syntax.

Thanks Pablo for your wonderful guidance.

Good ! So I will continue working on "with sintax". But remember, when user make his choice by auto-completion will write function name+sintax on the edition of source.

In my case the syntax is more important.
