Intelli-sense
Intelli-sense is a feature that provides choices of code items and values as you type. Not all code editors use Intelli-sense; for example, Intelli-sense is disabled while you record a macro in the Source Code Viewer.
Intelli-sense provides you with context-based assistance through autocompletion lists, calltips and mouseover information.
