How can I get the refactor menu arrow to come up when I hover and it doesn't show up?
Sometimes (usually when I'm in a hurry) I can't get the refactor hover menu icon to show :(
I think this may have to do with just having changed the symbol, and then undoing that change b/c I realize I need to use the refactor rename option.

This if fair. Do you want to wait for a week, get the product shipped, and then return to this problem? Getting your product out the door is the more important thing here. |

Sorry, have no idea what to do with that code, and I'm a bit focused trying to get this product completed and on the market this week.
I declare my classes in a .h, then define them in a .cpp, then define objects in yet another .cpp file. My program is over 41K lines and has a couple of hundred files. The class is very simple, and exactly like others I use without problems structurally.

This is a very clear description, but so far I cannot reproduce this bug. I tried using a std::string instance, and then tried using the following code in a cpp file:
class bracketsAdded
{
public:
void Ignited() { ; }
void getName() { ; }
void getSize() { ; }
};
static void testBracketsAddedToFunction()
{
bracketsAdded allison;
}
can you try copy / pasting this code into a cpp file and see if you can reproduce this problem?
It is possible there is something about the class you are using, or the listbox you are seeing that matters. |

Ok... Update on this.
I have found how to replicate this problem. Basically, when I type the object name and then the '.', I get the popup box. If I type the 'I' and it then highlights the appropriate method, and I hit return to accept that suggestion, it enters it on the line without the "()". However, if I down (or up) arrow to the entry in the popup below (or above) and then arrow back to it and press enter to accept it, it DOES enter it properly with the "()".
I was doing this with this code:
if ( allison.Ignited() )
I could repeat this by deleting to the period and then enter ".I" again.
I have installed VS SP1, and the release candidate.

I have begun to notice that it is only happening (so far) when I go to make a .h change for the first time after a compile.
If I find out different, I"ll post. So, I think you are correct.

A work around is good. If you notice a pattern or trigger then I would be interested in hearing about it, it is always good when we can reproduce bug reports, it makes them easier to fix  |

No, this is after having trigger that icon several times already, although the first in that .h file at the time I believe.
But no worries. I have a work-around that will keep me happy till the bug is crushed eventually. This program has saved me so much time already (hundreds of hours) I'm quite happy. =)

bugfix to the rescue again
pwaugh you *may* be seeing:
case=5682
which should be fixed in the next build. If this is the first time you have tried to trigger the refactoring icon in this file since starting the IDE then it probably is this bug. |

maps.google.com/VAssistX.RefactorContextMenu
sorry, had a clown for breakfast:)
IDE->tools->options->environment->keyboard |

I tried this (adding Foo to the end of a method name in a .h) and was not able to get the hovering icon the first time, even after moving the mouse both a couple of characters, and after moving to another method and obtaining it there.
However, after an undo I was able to get it again, and on the next attempt of adding Foo, was able to get it immediately.
How do I map a key to VAssistX.RefactorContextMenu? Can you point me to an FAQ or in the general direction? I have no clue. =)
Thanks.

I might be seeing the same thing here. I am just adding "Foo" to the end of method names in a class, sitting in a header file. After each manual rename the IDE status bar flashes very briefly, this should be VA displaying its message about reparsing the file. Do you see this?
Some times, perhaps 1 in 6 times hovering the mouse is not producing the icon, but if I move the mouse sideways a couple of characters and wait again then the hovering icon appears correctly.
Can you try this, and see if you see the same behaviour please?
You could also try mapping a keyboard shortcut to VAssistX.RefactorContextMenu and see if this is more reliable. This will open the menu directly, based on the current position of the caret, bypassing the need to hover the mouse. |

Build 1549.
It is not a new file ever, but happens to me often (not all the time, maybe 1 in 10 at most) when attempting to rename a method() in a class in the .h file. I didn't check this last one to see if I could get it on the .cpp file.
Just an irritation when I need to rename it, but I end up just doing it manually as I can't get the little arrow to show up.

Which IDE and version of VA are you using?
What sort of symbol are you renaming?
My initial reaction is that you should not be having this problem. There is a known problem, which should be fixed in the next build, where the refactoring hovering icon does not show for the first symbol you try it on after opening a file. But if you have been using the file for a while, and working in it, then this should not be happening to you. |
