Visual Studio Code - page 5

Hi, I not able to get auto-complete for built-in MQL functions/structs like SymbolInfoTick() or MqlTick for example. With this method I can have that?

I just published a new MQL syntax highlight extension that runs on top of cpp so you can use all cpp extensions (Intellisence, clang-format, etc.) with MQL and keep the MQL syntax. In order to make this work you need to map MQL file extensions to cpp in the user settings:

Extension available in the VS marketplace

how can i reach to this ? i'm in macbook

Then, go to the menu FILE > PREFERENCES > SETTINGS.

Since my last post on using VSC for my coding... I'm still LOVING IT...

does not work

I also seem to have gilianp's problem. Auto complete does not work when it comes to builtin functions like TimeLocal() etc. Although it works for comment and AccountInfoDouble. I don't know why.

Another issue is the squiggles, it's there with every function I use. I tried "C_Cpp.errorSquiggles": "Disabled" but, then I can't find any errors including legitimate ones like missing a semi colon.

To enable mql5 intellisense, you can use this plugin:

then, you can save this page as html and open is vscode on second tab. So, all sintax will availble for autocomplete commands

also you can use mql4 Syntax Highlight plugin

and you can add mql5 folder with metaeditor to PATH and then you can compill your code directly in vscode

Hi

Is there any way of having this functionality without keeping that html open all the times?

Honestly, having color coding for mql without proper intellisense and code compilation is not what people should call perfect!

how is it possible ?

anyone please help me?
