When I try to use Ctrl-V (or Shift-Insert) to paste text into the "Symbols in Workspace" or "Files in Workspace" dropdown edit field of the VA View, nothing happens (actually I get a 'ding' sound from Ctrl-V, but not Shift-Insert).
This problem occurs in VS 6 only - not VS 2003 or VS 2005.
Using the Right-Click/Paste context menu command works fine.
I'm using VAX version 10.3.1538.0.

For what its worth the newer IDE's are not always a great improvement over VC6 *rolls eyes* |

Thanks for your help on this; I've got some workarounds, and hopefully I'll be off of VS6 sometime within the next year... maybe...

I have put in a bug report for the effect I am seeing, with no workspace open. I have also mentioned this bug, on the hope that looking into the problem I can reproduce will offer some clues to this problem.

No - Ctrl-V does not work after opening the saved workspace, even though the file is open. I still have to open some file using the FileView window.
As for jpizzi's suggestion, the "Enable copy without selection" option was checked - turning it off had no effect on this problem. |

This rings a bell as being related to the copy from "Symbols in Workspace" issue that we recorded several months back that ended up being tied to the setting of "Enable copy without selection." Can you check the VS options (Compatibility tab) to see what your setting for this is? Try toggling the option to the other setting, and see if this changes the behavior. |

* If you open a workspace in VC6
* then close all open windows
* open a single file via FileView - at this point CTRL-V should work just fine
* now close and reload VC6
* reload the same workspace, VC6 should open this file, which was opened via FileView. Does CTRL-V now work? |

Ctrl-V continues to not work even after I open a workspace - even if the workspace has open files in it, I have to open a file from FileView (File/Open... or OFIW do not help) to get Ctrl-V to work. |

*ah* I never use File -> open, I use OFIW 99% of the time, and File View in the remaining handful of cases.
I can reproduce this, but only by loading VC6 with no workspace open. When the IDE has no files and no workspace open this happens for me. If I then open code files via File -> Open, but still without opening a workspace then this still happens.
As soon as I open a workspace then CTRL-V starts working perfectly. How similar is this to your experiences? |

US English IDE and OS.
Playing around a bit more, I found that Ctrl-V does work sometimes.
It looks like I have to open a file from the FileView (File/Open... doesn't do the trick), then Ctrl-V will work.
I must have run into this problem after loading an existing Workspace that already had a bazillion files opened, and was working away without having to open a new file. Of course, subsequent repro tests were done by starting the IDE, opening a Workspace and immediately trying to Ctrl-V something into the edit box - so the problem always manifested 100% in my repro tests...

Strange. Are you using a localised IDE or OS? Even though this is only a small issue it would be nice to understand why it is happening. |

Yes, and it works. That's why it's not really a big problem. |

I tried this on a clean WinXP SP2 system:
Installed VS6 Enterprise (with no service packs) then VA 1543, and the problem occurs.
Installed SP6 for VS6, and the problem still occurs.
Like I said before, this is not a big deal for me (the only reason I pursued this on a clean machine was to try to determine what background software I might have that's interfering with keystrokes). But, I figured I'd FYI you on this info. |

Make sure you have the latest updates/SPs for VC++ 6.0. We recall a paste problem in that IDE that Microsoft resolved long ago. Perhaps you're seeing that bug. |

Thanks for trying this. It still happens to me after updating to 1543.
I was thinking that it must be some other add-in or hotkey utility that's interfering, so I disabled all other VS add-ins and stopped all background utilities (at least I think I got them all), but the problem still occurs.
As a side note, if I map an additional keystroke to "Paste" in VS 6, it behaves the same as Ctrl-V.
Anyway, it's not a big deal even if I can't get it working after a clean boot; Right-Click-Paste is a fine workaround. Thanks again for checking.

This is working perfectly for me in VC6 and VS2003 with VA 1543
You may want to try upgrading to the latest version. |
