Hi All,
Does anyone know how to get the 'Auto Insert' Feature to work in IDL
7? I've set them in Window->Preferences->IDL->Templates to "ON" but
can't figure out how it works. Is there some special keystroke I
need?
Thanks,
Ryan.

Well, maybe not. Can someone explain to me how the
Auto Insert functionality changes anything? I find
the same behavior with all of the templates, and even
those I make myself, whether or not this attribute
is turned on or off.
Thanks,
David

It turns out that the IDL Workbench is not honoring the "Automatically
Insert" checkbox on the Template editor dialog. Instead, it *always*
inserts the template if the subset of the name typed is unambiguous.
This is logged as a problem to be fixed in an upcoming release.
In the meantime, if you want the template to *not* be inserted
automatically, you'll have to stop typing before you've typed enough
of the name for it to be unambiguous.
Sorry for the confusion,
Doug
