I have a function
const CTime &GetFirstTime() const
{
	return this->m_tFirstTime;
}

When I hover over a use of this function, the definition bar lists
const CTime& GetFirstTime () const {...}

which is good. However, I get one of two tooltips: either
const ATL::CTime &GetFirstTime () const

or
const CTime& GetFirstTime ()

The first occurs when I click on the symbol and then hover over it. The second occurs when I merely hover.

"Use default intellisense when available" is off.

1) Why should I get different tooltips depending whether I click-and-hover or just hover?
2) The first tooltip has an extra "ATL::".
3) The second tooltip is missing "const".
4) The tooltips can't agree whether it should be "CTime &func()" or "CTime& func()". I don't care about this, but I thought I'd mention it for completeness.

Hello Stephen,

You state:
quote:
The first occurs when I click on the symbol and then hover over it. The second occurs when I merely hover.
You may have noticed the following: when I hover over a function name, I get a verbose tooltip. When I hover over the same function again (without having other tooltips in between) I get a brief tooltip. I keep getting this brief tooltip, until I hover over another function and that (verbose) tooltip is shown. When I go to the first function, I get the verbose tooltip again.

So did you do those two occurances you've mentioned directly behind each other, or did you got another tooltip in between?
(This might give the Whole Tomato team one more clue.)

BTW: in a (private) example I've used, I din't see any difference between whether clicking in a word or not, before getting a verbose tooltip. So I can't reproduce that, sorry.

I hope you can do something with this.

With kind regards,
Patrick Luja

Patrick: Thanks for your thoughts. But as far as I can see, what you describe doesn't happen in my example. It seems to be purely related to whether I click-and-hover or just hover.

I have another open bug to do with needing to click to get the VA View to update: http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1244. May or may not be related.

By the way, in case it wasn't clear, I'm much less worried about the fact I get two different tooltips than the fact that one of them is missing "const".

Different tooltips appear typically when you have "Use default Intellisense when available" enabled.

We will continue to smoothen [hide?] the differences between MS and VA X Intellisense.

At least, assuming that unchecking the checkbox correctly turns it off, it is off!

In version 1233, I think I always get the second tooltip, which is missing the second const.
