Question
Wednesday, July 19, 2017 6:07 PM
I am using Visual Studio 2017 and I am trying to figure out how to disable the "features" that cause menus to pop up on my code and eat some of my input. I thought it was "IntelliSense" but I have unchecked all the boxes I could find about it and I am still getting the popups.
Also, how do I disable the popups that happen when my cursor stops over some code. I am really sick of this bloated program getting in my way.

Hi friend,
May I ask which language are you coding ? Visual C#/Visual Basic, etc…
Could you please share the screenshot which would be better for us to know this "popup" well?
>> how do I disable the popups that happen when my cursor stops over some code.
Know sure which part you want to disable Parameter Info, Quick Info or List Members?
My guessing is you want to turn off IntelliSense:
Navigate toTools -> Options and then select “Text Editor” from the left sidebar. Select the language that you are currently using, and then uncheck the option “Auto list members” and “Parameter information”.
In addition, if you want to know more information about IntelliSense, please refer to links below:

Please let me know if I misunderstood it.
Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Fletcher

Thank you! "Auto list members" was it! So if this is IntelliSense, why isn't this option under one of the IntelliSense sections?
Now I wish I could make it not pop up the type when I leave my cursor over a variable, but from what I read, that can't be turned off.
Anyway, this is a big help. Thanks!

Hi friend,
Thank you for your response.
>> So if this is IntelliSense, why isn't this option under one of the IntelliSense sections?
Based on my understanding, the Statement Completion (IntelliSense) option is basic setting options, and often enabled by default, so the options usually be placed under the general tab. Thanks for your understanding and support.
In addition, please refer to following steps to turned off the List Members:
1.In visual studio 2017, navigate to Tools -> Options and then select “Text Editor” from the left sidebar.
2.Select the language that you are currently using (C#, Basic, C/C++, F#).
3.Uncheck the option “Auto list members” and “Parameter information” under General tab.
4.Uncheck the option “Show Completion list after a character is typed” under IntelliSense tab.
5.Restart VS after Click OK.
Best regards,
Fletcher
