Hi,

i am not sure if that feature exists and is disabled at my system or if it was from another tool. What i miss in VAX is, that the tool shows me the signature of the actual function during writing the function call. A shortcut to toggle between different signatures would be cool, too.

an example:

somewhere in a header file we have included:

class MyClass
{
functionA(int a, int b);
functionA(double c);
}

somewhere in the code:

MyClass c;

c.functionA(_ <- now there should be an information, that there are two possible functions. The first one should be visible somewhere, the second one available with Ctrl+Up/Down for example.
This feature (without the shortcut) is already implemented when clicking on the function itself but not while typing the arguments.

Any hints?

Thanks,
Thomas

Enable "Auto parameter info" in the IDE options dialog. It's likely disabled for C/C++.

I think that that worked for me, too. But now, the lsit of protos does not appear until i press ctrl+shift+space. And it is not updated either. The trick with deleting the opening brace doesn't work, too.

Any other suggestions?

You can press down arrow to cycle through 1/2 2/2 right? I don't know how you would get it to always show up though.

If I am on a function and want to know if there are other protos for it I delete the opening ( and re-type it... Then they all show up again. Not pretty, but it works.

Cool!

ctrl+shift+space displays the signature with the actual parameter. Is there a possibility to display the other signatures available? I only see "[1 of 2] ...". How can i always display this tooltip automatically?

thanks!

No idea if its VAX or VS itself but try ctrl+shift+space.
