xMRi	Posted - Jul 06 2007 : 02:48:08 AM Is it possible to give a suggesstion for the type of a cast when typing instructions like this: CMyClass pMyClass = reinterpret_cast< At this point it is possible to give a suggestion of the type of the cast. It is true that the statement might do something different like this CMyClass pMyClass = reinterpret_cast<PTR_OTHER>(x)->GetMyClass(); But in most cases it looks like this CMyClass pMyClass = reinterpret_cast<CMyClass >(lParam);

kevinsikes	Posted - Jul 06 2007 : 05:53:04 AM By the way, there is an existing method for constructing cast statements using Autotext. Open the Autotext editor and locate a C++ shortcut named dyna for an example, or simply type dyna in the text editor and accept the suggestion.
kevinsikes	Posted - Jul 06 2007 : 04:05:46 AM Martin, This is an excellent suggestion. I'd go even further to say that casting operators should always appear in suggestion lists (currently it's hit or miss), and that they should autocomplete with the angle brackets and parentheses. Ideally, type this code: Foo* pFoo = static_c and be given this suggestion: static_cast<Foo>() with the caret positioned inside the parentheses I've also requested the same logic when casting to an expected parameter type: void MyFunction(Foo pFoo){} Void Bar() { MyFunction(dynamic_c // at this point, offer suggestion dynamic_cast<Foo*>() } case=7519
