cobrausn	Posted - Oct 06 2011 : 11:13:06 AM So I am having a bit of a problem getting visual assist to recognize when I am using a (custom rolled) smart pointer and give me autocomplete options, which is a bit frustrating as we use them everywhere. I am currently working with build 1854 (2011.7.18) in VS2008 with intellisense disabled. I have the following construct: #define sptr SmartPointer template <typename T> class SmartPointer { private: T* Object; //Other private methods public: T* operator -> () { return Object; } //Other public methods } Using this construct, VAX fails to parse and give autocomplete options whenever using either SmartPointer<Type> or sptr<Type>. This fails for both the -> operator and the . operator Is this a known issue, or am I doing something incorrect here?

Do you have: VA Options -> Advanced -> Listboxes -> Get content from default Intellisense turned on or off? In a simple test, using your class, with VS2008 and VA 1859, dot is being converted to -> correctly, and I am getting the expected items in the listbox after ->. It is possible there is something in your complete smart pointer class that is confusing our parser, have you tried this simplified class? If so, does it work correctly for you? That worked perfectly. Thanks a lot - this will make our lives a lot easier.
