I would like to use notepad++ for programming application however, I can't find anywhere where I can activate auto-completion (something like IntelliSense for VS) for function specifically in the Windows API
I think notepad++ is a better option since it faster and very intuitive
And don't ask me to switch to VS, this IDE is so slow
Anyone have a idea because I lost lot of time copying structures, functions etc...
You're pretty much out of luck expecting the features of a development IDE in an app that isn't designed for development like notepad++.Quote:

There are different IDE's available - eg NetBeans, Eclipse - but the VS IDE is generally considered one of the best.
See http://alternativeto.net/software/visual-studio/
...and if you want a faster and more powerful IntelliSense (and not only), you can buy the Visual Assist tool.
And of course, that's also for Visual Studio and not for the poor Notepad++.
// "faster and intuitive" like anything is so simple that does not make a big deal. :)Quote:
