pwc	Posted - Oct 05 2011 : 11:00:17 AM It would be nice to display the identifier associated with an IID value. For example, if we have this defined somewhere in our solution: const IID IID_IKElementAnnotate = { 0x7ac7c7b4, 0x661b, 0x4b2a, { 0xb9, 0xdc, 0x1b, 0x9c, 0xe7, 0x1e, 0xc0, 0x8b } }; And later we have a function, like QueryInterface, that takes an IID, the tooltip showing the IID value is "{7AC7C7B4-661B-4B2A-B9DC-1B9CE71EC08B}" but it would really useful to display "IID_IKElementAnnotate" instead or in addition to. Thanks, Paul

feline	Posted - Oct 07 2011 : 12:47:12 PM This makes more sense. We don't currently get involved while debugging, but this is a good idea, and makes sense. I have put in a feature request to see what our developers make of it: case=61828
pwc	Posted - Oct 05 2011 : 5:41:01 PM I'm talking about what's shown in the debugger while debugging. QueryInterface(IID& iid) takes a reference to an IID. If you hover over the value of the iid argument, you'll see the hex values. I'd like it to display the identifier too.
feline	Posted - Oct 05 2011 : 5:35:05 PM Personally I am not familiar with IID's, could you post a couple of lines of code to explain what is happening here? I keep on thinking surely you just pass the const "IID_IKElementAnnotate", so you see this const name in your code when you call the function. This is how I use const's. Or are you talking about what is shown when you are debugging a running program?
