I can't seem to get parameter info to display at all.

After typing ClassName instance( , nothing pops up.

- I have the feacp.dll file renamed to disable Intellisense
- I have "Auto List Members" and "Parameter Info" unchecked in Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> All Languages
- I have "Get content from default Intellisense" unchecked in Visual Assist X Options -> Advanced -> Listboxes
- I have everything checked in Visual Assist X Options -> Advanced -> Suggestions

There doesn't seem to be an "Auto parameter info" option in the Visual Assist X Options anymore as described here (in "Options in Microsoft Visual C/C++" section): http://www.wholetomato.com/products/features/parameter.asp

case=4399 is fixed in build 1848

I got the files, thank you. Now, I am seeing the same effect here:

case=4399

The culprit is the following IDE option:

Tools -> Options... -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> General -> Parameter information

This option must be turned on despite intellisense is turned off. This shouldn't be this way, though.

Did some more test, but still no luck.
Can you please export your Visual Studio and Visual Assist settings, so I can import them here to see if it makes any difference?

VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings

You can send them via this form:
http://www.wholetomato.com/support/contact.asp

Please include the URL of this topic in the description field so we can match it up.

Also, can you please create a new win32 test project to see if you experience the same problem there as well? I am wondering what may cause this effect for you...

I did get different results.

I've attached a screenshot showing right after I've typed "1, ".

A second pressing of ctrl+shift+space does bold the second parameter.

Thank you for the confirmation. The assigned number for this case is

case=32921

However I wasn't able to reproduce your second problem. If I replace the constructor with 2 parameters, like

testclass(int param, int param2) {}

then I press ctrl+shift+space inside the parens of the initialization, and type "1, " then I get the tooltip and the second parameter is bolded:

1. testclass obj(|); // ctrl+shift+space
2. testclass obj(1, |); // the second parameter is bold

Do you get different results with these steps as well?

I am seeing the same effect.

Also, after the parameter info pops up with the first parameter bolded and I supply the first argument, the next parameter does not become bold. I have to manually press ctrl+shift+space again for the current parameter to bold.

I was able to reproduce the problem, however I am wondering whether you are seeing the same problem.

class testclass
{
	testclass(int param) {}
	void test()
	{
		testclass obj()
	}
};

If I press ctrl+shift+space (the combination for the param. info tooltip) inside the parens in "test" member, I get nothing. However, if I close it with ; like

...
testclass obj();
...

then I got correct result inside the same parens. I don't see this problem with methods. Are you seeing the same effect on your side?
