Auto Table/Field/Variable Names

The Auto Table/Auto Field/Variable Names functionalities of IntelliSense's list of field names in the open table is referenced by typing USE or USE + the alias in the Command window. The information in this drop-down list consists of table names or field names, depending on the reference.

When you type a table-related keyword in the Visual FoxPro Editor or in the Command window, the Auto Table/Field drop-down list displays the valid members in the current context. As you type or tab through the list of fields, a Tip window displays the type and width of the field in focus.

The following table lists the Auto Table/Field keywords:

Keyword Function
USE Shows tables from the active database and MRU tables.
REPLACE Shows fields from the table, cursor, or view in the currently selected work area.
MODIFY MEMO Shows memo fields from the table, cursor, or view in the currently selected work area.
MODIFY GENERAL Shows general fields from the table, cursor, or view in the currently selected work area.

In addition, you can type "m." in the Command window to view a list of all declared variables in a drop-down window. When you select a variable, its value is displayed in a menu tip.
