About Integrated Development Environments
i remember that notepad+ was listed in a recommandation. but i assume you want something "bigger".
Why not simply try it? An IDE for C that deserves its name should be able parse #include and parse all included files and give autocompletion and calltips on all functions it has found.
I would probably start these experiments with Eclipse since (although I am not a C programmer) I am pretty sure it should have a pretty decent C/C++ plugin. Eclipse usually tends to blow most competing IDEs out of the water in many of the more popular programming languages, so I simply assume this is the case for C and/or C++ also.
Wanted to know if IDE's do what I wanted b4 playing around with them. Thanks for the tip.
Added: I hear mql# is similar to C++, does that mean C/C++ intended IDE's would be more compatible?

As a java developer i also can recommend Eclipse, there are plugins for nearly everything.
I assume that the default autocompletion does not work but as 7bit said the included stuff should work.
Of course you will have to play around a while to get compiler ecc. working.
Does anyone have a complete list of mql's commands and parameters? I'm trying to customize my Notepad++. I've already included CB's ( Alphabetic Index of MQL4 Functions) and looking for more. I suspect anyone who've tried to customize an IDE with mql4 commands have gone through this and that's why I'm asking.
Here's a look at what I've got. It's pretty cool and I should have been playing around with this a while ago :)
There is a plugin for eclipse located here

not sure if I can post that link on this forum.
Would the popular Advanced IDE's allow highlighting of User Defined Functions and Importing mql documentations? Could a seasoned programmer recommend a good one.
