disable screentips in Visual Studio text editor?

[tampabobby]

Hi I am new to .NET and Visual Studio. I am working through a book on VB and whenever I type code into the text editor screentips pop-up with paragraphs full info I am not interested in. This is really distracting - could anybody tell me how to disable this feature?


Thanks,
Bobby

they aint screen tips as such but code functions that are available for you to use, to disable these would be a catastrophic event, they are their as a quick list

To each his own, I always say

Go to Tools|Options|Text Editor|All Languages|General and UnCheck Auto-List Members and Parameter Information.

To each their own, correct, but, as a beginner, you should understand what that information is for. You say that you're not interested in it but you SHOULD be interested. That information is an invaluable learning resource and, as a new developer, you should want to learn as much as possible. Turning off Intellisense is a really, really, REALLY bad idea.

While I agree whole-heartedly I also understand that when you are reading from a book and trying to follow along, there are times that intellisense can become very distracting. I'm sure that as things progress and the OP gets more and more comfortable with the language, that they will want Intellisense back. As it is invaluable in the sense that you don't have to know everything off the top of your head.
