How do I stop Notepad from showing autocomplete for all words in the file

Question

I m trying to use Notepad   with the Progress programming language   I have installed the language definition in  APPDATA  Roaming Notepad   as userDefineLang xml and syntax highlighting is working correctly   I ve put a file in the notepad   Plugins APIs directory named progress xml  but the contents are not recognized by Notepad     I ve also removed all the other language files from that directory and Notepad   still shows the exact same autocomplete suggestions it did before I removed them   Also  when typing in a program  it looks like every word in the file is an auto-complete suggestion  not just the keywords or function names   Anyone know how to track this down

Notepad   provides 2 types of features    Auto-completion that read the open file and provide suggestion of words and or functions within the file Suggestion with the arguments of functions  specific to the language    Based on what you write  it seems what you want is auto-completion on function only   suggestion on arguments   To do that  you just need to change a setting    Go to Settings   Preferences      Auto-completion Check Enable Auto-completion on each input Select Function completion and not Word completion Check Function parameter hint on input  if you have this option    On version 6 5 5 of Notepad    I have this setting   Some documentation about auto-completion is available in Notepad   Wiki
