Type: LanguageService

Describe the bug

• OS and Version: Windows 10
• VS Code Version: 1.52.1
• C/C++ Extension Version: v1.1.3
• Other extensions you installed (and if the issue persists after disabling them):
• Does this issue involve using SSH remote to run the extension on a remote machine?: No
• A clear and concise description of what the bug is, including information about the workspace (i.e. is the workspace a single project or multiple projects, size of the project, etc).

I am developing MQL5(C++ like) application with VS code and observed below

Below screen is the behavior, I can see a few members of the struct, but missing most of them.

**Below is the screenshot of my actual struct in the included library.

Steps to reproduce

1. Get the library: https://c.mql5.com/3/176/MQLsyntax.mqh
2. Write a small test code that #include <MQLsyntax.mqh> first
3. define mrequest with MqlTradeRequest: "MqlTradeRequest mrequest;"
4. type "mrequest." to see the member list and you will see the issue.

Expected behavior

Expect to see the full list or be able to search any member by typing the first few characters.

https://c.mql5.com/3/176/MQLsyntax.mqh doesn't have a definition for MqtTradeRequest. Do you have a different version?

sorry, I actually added below to the top of the version from the link:

//----------- Added by Wei ---------------
#define _Symbol
#define _Period
struct MqlTradeRequest {
ENUM_TRADE_REQUEST_ACTIONS action; // Trade operation type.
ulong magic; // Expert Advisor ID (magic number).
ulong order; // Order ticket.
string symbol; // Trade symbol.
double volume; // Requested volume for a deal in lots.
double price; // Price.
double stoplimit; // StopLimit level of the order.
double sl; // Stop Loss level of the order.
double tp; // Take Profit level of the order.
ulong deviation; // Maximal possible deviation from the requested price.
ENUM_ORDER_TYPE type; // Order type.
ENUM_ORDER_TYPE_FILLING type_filling; // Order execution type.
ENUM_ORDER_TYPE_TIME type_time; // Order expiration type.
datetime expiration; // Order expiration time (for the orders of ORDER_TIME_SPECIFIED type.
string comment; // Order comment.
ulong position; // Position ticket.
ulong position_by; // The ticket of an opposite position.
};
// @see: https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/constants/structures/mqltraderesult
struct MqlTradeResult {
uint retcode; // Operation return code.
ulong deal; // Deal ticket, if it is performed.
ulong order; // Order ticket, if it is placed.
double volume; // Deal volume, confirmed by broker.
double price; // Deal price, confirmed by broker.
double bid; // Current Bid price.
double ask; // Current Ask price.
string comment; // Broker comment to operation (by default it is filled by description of trade server return code).
uint request_id; // Request ID set by the terminal during the dispatch.
uint retcode_external; // Return code of an external trading system.
};`

Thanks for looking into it!

Completion is failing because the types of the other members are not defined. If you don't see squiggles, that means you have errorSquiggles disabled, a header isn't being resolved, or you don't have a workspace folder open.

Are you able to include the file that defines the types used?

[weinix]

Thank you, Sean! That makes sense. Let me check from my side and will report back.

I was able to make it working by adding typedef for missing type definitions:

typedef ulong;
typedef string;
typedef  ENUM_ORDER_TYPE;
typedef  ENUM_ORDER_TYPE_FILLING;
typedef  ENUM_ORDER_TYPE_TIME;
typedef  datetime;
typedef  ENUM_TRADE_REQUEST_ACTIONS;
typedef  uint;

They are MQL5 internal types and don't have a library file for them readily.. But now I know how I can get it working.
Appreciated your help!
