Hey,
Is it possible - using Macros or Add-Ins to add more entries to the
IntelliSense combo-box in certain situations?
Thanks ahead

Unfortunately, this isn't possible. The language service itself is responsible
for the Intellisense data structures. This is why VB 2005 and VC# 2005 have
very different Intellisense windows. AFAIK, no extensibility points have
been added to augment the Intellisense entries because the implementations
differ so much (e.g., some load entries in an asynchronous way). A couple
of third-parties have resorted to creating their own Intellisense windows
that override the current language's Intellisense.

Hey Dustin,
There are third-parties that override the IntelliSense (like
ReSharper),
But even though they override the IntelliSense, it looks like they
receive from the VS.Net
The list of - lets say - properties and methods...
Is there an event or an interface I can implement to override the
IntelliSense but receive
The VS.Net list of commands?
Thanks ahead!

The only third-parties that override Intellisense are extensively parsing
the source code themselves and using symbol tables. AFAIK, there is no way
to coax this information from the current language service.
