Consider this:
enum MyType { myType1, myType2 };
Then I want to use a MyType variable that does NOT exist - yet:
void foo()
{
bar(myType); // Suggestion list not used!
}
"myType" is replaced with "MyType" by VAX.
I run into this all the time! I know VAX tries to do the best in this situation, but since I TYPE the whole variable name, VAX should NOT replace it!

Posted - Feb 18 2010 : 10:49:43 PM This would be a good use case for Create from Usage. After typing the variable name, invoke the refactoring menu via mouse hover or keystroke (Alt+Shift+Q is the default beginning with VA X 1810, but you can bind your own keystroke to VAssistX.RefactorContextMenu). Choose "Create variable myType" and give it the type MyType.
If you don't want to perform a Create from Usage on the unknown myType symbol, then a simple undo keystroke will revert MyType to myType; there is no need to manually re-type the name. Or you could do as Feline suggests, and turn off the Repair Case feature.

Posted - Feb 18 2010 : 10:58:54 AM If you have:
VA Options -> Advanced -> Correction -> Repair case
turned On then this is by design. Turning off this option stops this from happening.
