Xcode "like" editor on windows?


Question

I'm looking for an editor that will feel like the xcode one. I don't need it to compile anything but I want it to auto complete functions, suggest, maybe link to the API ?, warnings etc'.

is there anything like that? Tried searching for an notepad++ plugin with no success.

(I'm on Windows and not looking for a Virtual Machine solution)

Why would you want an IDE as terrible as Xcode? I'm serious. Xcode is far from ideal. Especially since Apple wants developers to use Objectionable-C ;)

If it supports the language you're looking to use, you can't go wrong with Visual Studio. It's excellent.

The only language I'll be developing in is objective-C. Don't know how I didn't mentioned it.

Visual studio handles Objective-C well?

The main reason I want something close to Xcode in Windows is because I'm developing for the iphone at home (where I have Lion installed) But I have other Windows environments where i want to retouch the code and sometimes add a few pieces to it. I want, at least try, to keep those coding environments as close to each other as possible in terms of auto complete, shortcuts etc'.

To be honest, I don't think you're going to find a IDE comparable to Xcode for Objective-C on Windows since there's very little interest in Objective-C for anything other than iOS development. There's a plugin for Sublime Text 2 to allow primitive Objective-C auto-completion / code navigation https://github.com/quarnster/SublimeClang but I don't know of anything better.
