   I already wrote in some other post about having problems with xCode 3.2.2 and auto completion. Here is the thing and I would like to know if anybody else have similar problems or maybe know how to solve it:

   Type this in xCode:
   

   CCNode *node;

   Then type node.con and xCode will automatically suggest node.contentSize as it should.

   Now try:
   

   CCLayer *layer;

   Then type layer.con and xCode will not suggest anything for auto complete. But if you try [layer setCon...] xCode will correctly suggest [layer setContentSize:...]. Why this is happening as CCLayer is subclass of CCNode, so I suppose Code Sense should do its auto complete features?

   This drives me crazy because I'm using dot notation all the time and without auto completion it's pain in the ass...

   Did you try what I said above? If it works for you, then my xCode is somehow broken as my auto completion list in above case is empty for layer.con[ESC]

   I've seen a lot of wonky autocomplete stuff in xCode with no rhyme or reason I can make of it. Sometimes things don't autocomplete, and I don't really know why. But the same property of the same class might in one instance autocomplete and another it might not.

   That includes the items listed in the ESC menu.

   So did you try above example? Does layer.con[ESC] give you any suggestions?

   Sorry for bumping this, but I need at least one confirmation that I am not alone in this before I start deleting/installing xcode again. So for example:
   

   CCLabel *label;
   label.po[ESC]

   Does it give you any suggestion like label.position?

   I am interested in xcode 3.2.2 behavior, under Snow Leopard, because as I can recall this worked in old xcode...

   CCLabel *label;
   [label setPo[ESC]

   works OK for me.

   Yes Riq, I know that (mentioned in the 1st post). But I am asking about dot notation, e.g.
   

   CCLabel *label;
   label.po[ESC]

   dot notation only works for methods that are part of the class, and not ancestors' classes.

    Just tested this, and dot notation actually works for self class and 1st super class but it doesn't work for 2nd super class. Weird, I though all of this worked with old Xcodes...

    Hey dot notation works again in Xcode 3.2.3 :) Now you can access all properties of all ancestor classes
