how to access keystroke event in Visual Studio.NET 2003

[watcher]

Hi,

I have some questions about writing plugins for Visual Studio .NET
2003.

1) how do we detect keystroke events in the text editor? The only text
editor event that we find exposed is LineChanged. Sometimes we also see
erratic occurrence of CharLeft/CharRight commands, but they do not
occur for every keystroke, in fact sometimes they do not happen at all.
We are using EventWatcher from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/samples/automation2002/,
which is basically the only treatment of VS events we could find. Of
course, from the example of commercial plugins like VisualAssist and
CodeRush, it is clear that these keystrokes are exposed somehow.


2) is there is a way to trap the code autocomplete/intellisense popup
activation event?

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Hi Watcher,

I think you'll have better luck getting answers in a dotnet
newsgroup. These groups are meant for questions specific to OFFICE
applications, so you won't meet as wide a range of .NET programmers,
here...
