• Intellisense for object created by "FOR EACH" at run-time and designer-time
• Intellisense for Collection object at run-time and designer-time
• Referencing any object through of a variable at run-time and designer-time
• Classes and functions invoked by SET PROCEDURE TO in current program and method or in memory.
• Classes invoked by SET CLASSLIB TO...
• Help pressing F1 when intellisense is opened in current item.
• Documenting properties in PRG files with custom tooltip as a summary.
• Error List window.
• Error Tip for some run-time erros at write-time.
• SQL Intellisense for connected database for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE instructions.

NEW: SQL Intellisense (inside the TEXT...ENDTEXT block) for connected database. (Page 24 to 27)
Tested with MS SQL Server. a) Support for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE instrunctions b) Tables with incremental search in current connected database c) Table and Alias with incremental searching in currente SQL instruction with the database disconnected d) Fields with incremental searching in current database connected considering the tables used in currente SQL instruction e) Fields list from tables and Alias when pressed "." dot f) IntelliSense for tables/alias pressing SPACE after the clauses FROM, JOIN and INTO

NEW: Intellisense to the command "INDEX ON" (Page 18)
NEW: Now, objects instatied at run-time show more informations in the tooltip. (Page 13)
NEW: Intellisense for object created by "FOR EACH" at run-time and designer-time. (Page 22)
NEW: Intellisense for Collection object at run-time and designer-time (Page 22) NEW: Referencing any object through of a variable at run-time and designer-time (Page 22)
NEW: FoxCode table update through the merger between native FoxCode and FoxCode provided by FoxcodePlus. (Page 34)
NEW: SET PROCEDURE TO in memory is also considered. (Version 3.13.2 - Page 8 and 9)

FIX: {"SHIFT+ARROWS, SHIFT+END and SHIFT+HOME behavior not adequate"}
FIX: "THIS" in containers object in some cases the IntelliSense hasn't load.
FIX: Several fixes (version 3.13.2)

If you already have installed FoxcodePlus 3.10 or a previous version, you must have to replace the files foxcode.app , foxcodeplus.app and whole directory ...\Foxcodeplus*.*. Also, it’s necessary to do the step 7. If you have installed 3.11 or 3.12 you only have to replace foxcode.app and foxcodeplus.app.
