To whom it may concern
When you comment out #defines and typedefs the mouse will not auto sense and display what the #define or typedefs is like in normal code listings. The only way to lookup the meaning of the commented out #define or typedef is with goto definition. Suggest updating Whole tomato Visual Assist program with this capability.

Thanks
Gary

We assume you refer to "goto definition" available in the standard context menu. This functionality is from the IDE which often guesses at where to "go." In this case, the IDE doesn't bother to notice the comment and goes to the place you expect. While nice, we're not sure it's entirely intentional.

As you have discovered, VA X does not parse commented code so it's "go" commands don't work in such cases. (Alt+G or from our context menu available via Shift+Right+Click.)

If you comment code using #ifdef NOTDEF and #endif, VA X does parse the code and Alt+G will work as you expect.
