It happens for some structs and classes only. Let's see for example the HELPINFO:



Type a variable name:



Then type "." or "->" - nothing happens, no members:



So delete "." or ">" and type it again - member list appears:



Now start typing beginning of a member - after even one letter typed, the list becomes about 8 pixels high:



You can still choose a member using up and down keys because tooltip and definition field will be updated, but won't see the list anymore. The same happens if you use Ctrl+Alt+T to force the list appear.

Works fine here (with minimal testing). Mind copying this example over to a small test file and see if the problem is reproducible? This will rule out something above this method is causing VA to get confused?

Just tested with 1209 - the same effect. Created new "simple Win32 application" from wizard, and inserted minimal amount of code:
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                     HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                     LPSTR     lpCmdLine,
                     int       nCmdShow)
{
 	// TODO: Place code here.
	HELPINFO* pHelpInfo;
	pHelpInfo->
	return 0;
}

Just in case I've cleared the cache and rebuilt symbol databases - stil the same.

I did some more testing. Changed the platform to "Custom" and removed all non-standard directories (Xtreme toolkit, Platform SDK, IE libs). Now I have:

  • C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\VC98\\INCLUDE

  • C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\VC98\\MFC\\INCLUDE

  • C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\VC98\\ATL\\INCLUDE


Cleared, reparsed, restarted - didn't help. Happens all the time, 100% reproducible for simple HELPINFO structure.

I believe it's somehow connected with
http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1074
Uncheck the option "Shrink member listboxes" and you'll probably see the problem.
Edit: One more clue - HELPINFO's members are not bolded as non-inherited.
