IntelliSense is a set of native features of the Microsoft Visual Studio* IDE that make language references easily accessible.
The user programming with Intel® IPP in the Microsoft* Visual Studio Code Editor can employ two IntelliSense features:

  • Complete Word
  • Parameter Info



For a software library, the Complete Word feature types or prompts for the rest of the name defined in the header file once the first few characters of the name are typed in your code.
Provided your C/C++ code contains the include statement with the appropriate Intel IPP header file, to complete the name of the function or named constant specified in the header file.

• Type the first few characters of the name (for example, ippsFFT).
• Press Alt+RIGHT ARROW or Ctrl+SPACEBAR. If you have typed enough characters to disambiguate the name, the rest of the
  name is typed automatically. Otherwise, the  pop-up list of the names specified in the header file opens as in figure-1.
 • Select the name from the list, if needed.

The Parameter Info feature displays the parameter list for a function to give information on the number and types of parameters. Provided your C/C++ code contains the include statement with the appropriate Intel® IPP header file, to get the list of parameters of a function specified in the header file. 

• Type the function name
• Type the opening parenthesis
• This makes the tooltip with the function API prototype pops up, and the current parameter in the API prototype is highlighted as in figure-2
