    Hi, Nice! Will it also support any kind of suggestion after "="? For example, InventTable.ItemType =  - I would like to see a list of Enum::EnumMember here. This feature already have been implemented in AxAssist Add-on solution, which is perfectly work on previous versions of DAX (3.0, 4.0, 2009).

    Reviewed video again and.... Have you ever see IDC_ARROW mouse cursor in any text/code editor (except DAX)? Notepad, Word, VS ...... those all use IDC_BEAM cursor style. And I think it could be concluded that it is a best practice. Could you please change mouse cursor in the DAX editor from IDC_ARROW to IDC_BEAM? IMHO, it will looks more like editor then. PS Even in this small window for posting comments in your blog mouse cursor is IDC_BEAM not IDC_ARROW. Regards, Alex

    Features like the 'enumeration sugggestion'are definitly on our radar. However, we are mostly focusing on getting parity with the existing editor with some chosen added-value. The arrow is a side effect of the screen recorder. The cursor is of the IDC_BEAM type.

    You'll have to wait for the next version of AX to get this editor :-). In AX2009 or previous version, the editor is part of the client applicaiton. You just need to open a developement workspace.

    The feature is still there. There is a minor bug but you can still use it. Here is how:

  • Mark the block area you want to edit, for example by using the ALT key and the mouse
  • Press SPACE, it won't add a space to the buffer
  • Now you can type and the editor will do a block edition I hope it helps.
