jzq740176597	Posted - Nov 22 2011 : 9:16:59 PM class CEscalatorDlg : public CModelessDialog { public-?-? //.... UINT GetPlatLen()const; private-?-? void Generate_pair(const XPoint&ptInsert); void Generate_single(const AcGePoint3d &ptInsert); //.... }; Now take a look at img: (1)Generate_single(),where the one reference reside,the appearance is not different with that if it was a normal extern function! Sometimes if I have finished a large percent of the code I will Find references of a member function to see if any extern func refer to it or if only inter use I perhaps change it into protected or private! (2)because,in fact,Generate_single() is a member of CEscalatorDlg, No matter whether I am do search on symbol in the same class scope or not,when display the finding reference result in pane,to display Generate_single() as CEscalatorDlg::Generate_single-?-?-?-?is better.or other style can clear the scope or indicate reference symbol in the same or derived class.

(2) quote: point 1: What version of Visual Assist are you using? Derived and base class references have a different icon in recent builds. version is 1856.I have a test,it's relly true that Derived and base class references have a different icon! B1 is derived from BaseClass: I feel very glad about this.And case=62960 can totally imitate a similar approach I think. And what I originally mean,the key point,it's to distinguish class-member and the non-member function that refer to the srearching symbol.
accord	Posted - Nov 25 2011 : 3:27:56 PM point 2: I have put in a feature request to show class name of methods where the reference is found to see what the developers make of it: case=62960 point 1: What version of Visual Assist are you using? Derived and base class references have a different icon in recent builds. Other classes and non-member classes would also be easily distinguished if case=62960 will be implemented.
jzq740176597	Posted - Nov 23 2011 : 9:04:35 PM Follow the above sample: class CEscalatorDlg : public CModelessDialog { public-?-? //.... UINT GetPlatLen()const; private-?-? void Generate_pair(const XPoint&ptInsert); void Generate_single(const AcGePoint3d &ptInsert); //.... }; (1)VA should make a difference on display style to distinguish whether the function is in the same class or derived class with finding symbol contrast to normal non-member function. Along with sample,Generate_single() display should be different whether it's the same class member with GetPlatLen()or not. (2)The result referencing functions if it's a member of class,then should better contain the class info to clear the scope. I.e,Generate_single()is refer to GetPlatLen().And the window should display CEscalatorDlg ::Generate_single() instead. You should be aware of the cpp file name cann't supply more valuable info,because perhaps a file may contain more class implementation and many normal non-member functions. I think the (1) point is necessary and the (2)Can consider.
accord	Posted - Nov 23 2011 : 5:25:22 PM 1. What do you mean by extern and intern function? Do you mean that you cannot distinguish whether the references are from the same class or a different one? In this case it seems that GetPanLen() references are from the same class, since there is no class reference before the function call, like "something->". 2. Filenames in find references window should guide you - EscalatorDlg.cpp means CEscalatorDlg in your case. Do you put multiple classes to the same files?
