Complete List

Displays a list of Intellisense completion items in the Code Editor control.

Remarks

The Complete List control provides an interactive dropdown or popup list of code completion suggestions within the Code Editor. It is designed to assist users in writing code, scripts, or regular expressions by offering context-aware suggestions, method overloads, and documentation as they type. The control is tightly integrated with the Code Editor and appears automatically when completion is triggered by specific characters or keyboard shortcuts.
