Visual LISP addons

Is there any addons for this?  What I was looking for is something similar when you're writing in VBA and you get a drop down menu based on the character you typed.

Not from Autodesk, exactly.   VLIDE has a color interface that turns functions blue if they are built-in.  You can also use the appropos window and an autocomplete with CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE.  That doesn't guarantee that the function you choose applies to the object argument.

 

Though it is supported, users are encouraged to switch from LISP to .NET in order to access AutoCAD at a deeper level. I believe the Visual Studio environment has the built-in object methods and properties you are hoping for.

 

If you have access to an older version of AutoCAD (2009), the acadauto.chm file had the help features you need to understand which properties and methods apply to which object.

Building on dbroad's comments, if I may....

 

I've added a link to my signature for an ActiveX Online reference I use often, since Autodesk's implementation of their Online [not-so-much-]Help system.

 

Unfortunately, Visual LISP IDE (VLIDE) is not exposed for us to code our own addons (I wish it were), and I too find the intellisense functionality of Visual Studio to be greatly missing from VLIDE.
