Hey There..
The issue that I'm having is with macro expansion inside the function parameter tooltips. I was wondering if there was any way to make this work or if it's just not supported. There is a checkbox under options titled "Evaluate all macros used in definitions", but this doesn't seem to fix the problem. VS2005 (and 2003 as well, I believe) will do this automatically, and it works fine if I turn VA off. If you would like a screen shot of what I'm talking about I can provide one. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Awesome!
Sounds good. Can't wait to see if it gets added :) |

We confirmed VS2005 resolves macros within paramater tooltips; VA X does not. One can make an argument for either case.
We wrote up a request to make VA X display both, i.e.:
1 of 2 ADD_ARGS
2 of 2 int a, int b
case=2527 |

Are you asking for expansion in the tooltip only, or actually in the code if a suggestion is accepted? |

I agree that there may be cases where that behavior wouldn't be desired, so I think that it makes a great checkbox in the options :) |

It's not currently supported but since vs2005 does it that way we'll have to at least consider it. Off hand, I would wonder if there are more cases where that behavior would not be welcome though. |

This is a tough one for to make a call on IMO.
By default I wouldn't expect the macro to expand when used in that way.
I'll query support on this to get their take. |

Bump.... Should I be putting this in the requested features? |

Sure,
First, I'm defining a macro that contains function parameters. I do this because the same function parameters show up in about 5 different levels of code (because of the complex class hierarchy) and I don't want to have to touch the code in 5 places to make a change. So something like this for exampe...
#define ADD_ARGS int a, int b
Then I declare the function...
int AddFunc(ADD_ARGS);
Then when I use the function, the intellisense for the parameter list shows up as (ADD_ARGS) when I'm expecting to see (int a, int b).
Again, the main reason that I feel visual assist SHOULD do this is because the default VS2005 (and 2003 I think) do this and it's extremely helpful. |

Can you post a simple example of what you expect and what you get? |

I want to say that it is just not supported. But, I don't know that for sure.
Support? |
