JScript IntelliSense: Working with Ext JS

Any possibility of JavaScript intellisense honoring the ///<returns domElement='true'> for return values or ///<param domElement='true'> inside of functions? TIA

Great news - glad you're continuing to improve things. How about improved YUI support? I had problems with namespaces.

@Brock: We'll definitely consider respecting domElement=true.

@Kevin Dente: We've tested about 10 of the core YUI library files and so far they've seemed to be working. I realize it's not a conclusive testing strategy, so if you have a sample app where YUI IntelliSense is not working, please feel free to send it to me (jking-at-microsoft-dot-com) and we can take a look. Thanks!

Mootools integration?

Is there any plans to bring Mootools into VS2008?

Awesome find. [high-five!]

I've been testing this workaround all morning and thought I would post my results here...

1. As you noted the fix MUST be added to an external .js file. Adding the line of code to an inline <script> block which is rendered above the external Ext script includes does not appear to work.

2. The "window.addEventListener = false;" appears to disable events from attaching in FireFox and Safari. The page appears to render correctly, but all events are disabled. Maybe this should be a VS Design-Time only fix?

3. We add the Ext files to our Assembly as Embedded Resources and have yet to get the addEventListener fix to work with these Embedded Resources. We're running a few tests to figure out exactly why. I thought it had something to do with not adding the scripts to the document head, but...

4. The fix and Ext scripts do not need to be included in the head of the page. The fix just needs to be included before the Ext includes.

Probably point #2 is the most serious limitation. Wrapping the line in an IE only browser/dom check would easily solve the problem, although completely removing the fix at render/release would certainly be safer.

geoffrey.mcgill — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 20:32:13 GMT

forgot to add...

5. We do find it takes a while (10-30 seconds) until Ext shows up in intellisense the first time the page loads in VS, BUT ONLY if the 2008 Hot Fix Roll up has NOT been installed. With the hot fix, Ext pops into intellisense almost immediately. The registry edits were not required.

Get the Visual Studio 2008 Hot Fix at the following location:

@geoffrey.mcgill: Thanks for the detailed feedback! Some answers:

1. Correct, this workaround will not work for an inline script block. The code always need to be in another file relative to your active document.

2. Correct, this should only be a design-time only fix. Perhaps I should have made that more clear.

3. Your scenario should work. Let us know if for some reason it doesn't.

4. Correct, any line of code that executes before Ext will do.

5. That sounds great! What type of box do you have? On mine, it takes about 10 seconds (with the hotfix).

This also seems to only work when using the Ext-base and not one of the adapters such as JQuery.

Great work though - it was like christmas had come - seeing that 'Ext' popup in my intellisense!!!

I have use all reccomendations given here. But I have such error.

Error updating JScript IntelliSense: Client-side script IntelliSense information was not generated due to an error in an external script reference.

I tested with ExtJs 2.0.2 and ExtJs 2.1. Everywhere is same error.

Please help.

@beckenov: Could you provide me with a sample of the project you are experiencing the error with? My email is (jking-at-microsoft-dot-com). Thanks!

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with Ext JS

Richard — Fri, 09 May 2008 10:38:29 GMT

I have the same problem as beckenov.

If I download the latest ExtJS 2.1 and create a new site. Then add a Extjs folder and copy in the ExtJS files and then add a new js file and add the following:

/// <reference Path="../Javascript/ext-shim.js"

/// <reference Path="../Extjs/adapter/ext/ext-base.js"/>

/// <reference path="../Extjs/ext-all-debug.js"/>

If I remove ext-all-debug.js then no error (same error with ext-all.js)

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with Ext JS

Richard — Fri, 09 May 2008 12:59:20 GMT

Problem was caused by having the <reference name="MicrosoftAjax.js"/> reference in. So no debugging both!!

@Richard: I'm able to use MicrosoftAjax.js + ext-base.js + ext-all-debug.js and IntelliSense is working. I realize I'm on a VS2008 SP1 Beta build (so I don't need the shim). If you plan on trying out the beta, let me know if it fixes it for you. If you don't plan on trying the beta, let me know and we can further diagnose. Thanks!

re: JScript IntelliSense: Working with Ext JS

EShy — Mon, 19 May 2008 17:59:44 GMT

I just installed SP1 beta, no extjs intellisense.

with the shim, intellisense works, but when I remove it I get the following error

Warning 1

Error updating JScript IntelliSense: C:\Users\EShy\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\ExtJS2\ExtJS2\Ext\adapter\ext\ext-base.js: Object doesn't support this property or method @ 9:7311

C:\Users\EShy\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\ExtJS2\ExtJS2\js\application.js 1 1 ExtJS2

this is with Ext 2.1 (using the VS2008 project template from the extjs forums)

what could be the problem?
