"editor.parameterHints.enabled": false does not work (plz help me)

[asdoo4069]

Issue Type: Bug

Hi, I'm korean. So plz understand to my terrible English.
And I'm a noob :(
This is my first post at Github.

I added "editor.parameterHints.enabled": false that setting in my settings.json file. But it does not work.

I usually work at C language.
While I type C source code (*.c)
( example printf(), scanf() )

when I type a something message in bracket(like printf();, scanf();), I saw int printf(const char *const _Format, ...) in that parameter hint.

After I changed "editor.parameterHints.enabled": false this,
int printf(const char *const _Format, ...) this hint is not appear when I type printf() manually.
But when I use autocomplete(intellisense C/C++ Extension),
that parameter hint apper every each time!!!

In conclusion, "editor.parameterHints.enabled": false
I type manually(one spell by one spell), that parameter hint is invisible.
I type with autocomplete, that parameter hint appear.

It's really annoying me.
plz comment. Thanks.

I think that problem is related to "C_Cpp.autocompleteAddParentheses": true.
I changed that setting to false, and then "editor.parameterHints.enabled": false is work!
But I don't know why those two settings are crashed. Is that bug??
If I remove VSCode completely and reinstall, it could be better?

[asdoo4069]

I want to use both "C_Cpp.autocompleteAddParentheses": true and "editor.parameterHints.enabled": false.
How can I use those two settings together?

[sean-mcmanus]

Yeah, our autocompleteAddParentheses feature triggers the editor.action.triggerParameterHints command -- we could check that setting before triggering the parameter hint.

[asdoo4069]

Sorry, I couldn't understand very well. Because I'm not good at English.

I want to use C_Cpp.autocompleteAddParentheses and also I don't want to use editor.parameterHints.enabled.

1. Can't I use those two settings at the same time?

2. What is the function of the code? editor.action.triggerParameterHints

[sean-mcmanus]

It's a bug or missing feature behavior -- we don't follow the editor.parameterHints.enabled setting when we call the "editor.action.triggerParameterHints" command, and it looks like VS Code itself doesn't change the behavior itself when that setting is called.

[asdoo4069]

Oh! Thank you. I'll be waiting for the bug to be fixed :)

The fix is available with 1.13.3 (pre-release): https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/releases/tag/v1.13.3
