Hi!
I'm new to VAX and searching for a feature, but couldn't find it in the options or a hint in the forum. This is my problem:
Having these two classes ...
class CParent {
public:
// function foo
virtual void foo () = 0;
};
class CChild : public CParent {
public:
virtual void foo ();
};
... I want to show the documentation of CParent::foo in the tooltip while typing ...
CChild *p;
p->foo
... like it's shown while typing ...
CParent *p;
p->foo
Is there a way to achieve this without copying the comments?
If it can't be done, please think about implementing it. Should be a simple check whether member documentation exists and go up the class tree searching for a documentation.
Bye,
SWeini

Where are the cases listed? Where can I See when it's done? Sorry for that stupid question but I couldn't find them.

it is a reasonable question, and comes up fairly often 
one useful approach is to keep an eye on the history of changes, that is updated with each new build.

we get quite a lot of suggestions, so it can take a long time before a given suggestion is implemented. |

i don't recognise that fancy name, but i would have called it "common sense". still, when has that stopped anyone? *rolls eyes* |

Those are for our own tracking, so we can quickly update the threads when they are fixed :) |

this is not something that VA currently does. this is a sensible idea
there is the possible problem that if the child class makes a significant change to what the method does - then the comment will be wrong. so long as the tooltip clearly states the class it got the comment from this should not be to much of a problem.
i have put in a feature request
