It cannot parse template class use a type parameter as base!
For example, the CWindowImpl from ATL. it's define is like
template <class T, class TBase /* = CWindow */, class TWinTraits /* = CControlWinTraits */>
class ATL_NO_VTABLE CWindowImpl : public CWindowImplBaseT< TBase, TWinTraits >
and
template <class TBase = CWindow, class TWinTraits = CControlWinTraits>
class ATL_NO_VTABLE CWindowImplBaseT : public CWindowImplRoot< TBase >
and
template <class TBase /* = CWindow */>
class ATL_NO_VTABLE CWindowImplRoot : public TBase, public CMessageMap
for my class
class CRealView
: public CWindowImpl< CRealView, CWindow >
{
}
visual assist donot treat member from CWindow as member of CRealView!

This is a major showstopper here!
Everything was going well until I realized VA cannot show me the members of my class which is derived from CWindowImpl.
VC++ dotNet 2003.
Enabling using Intellisense does work, but I've looked into VA because intellisense was failing with our collection classes.
The problem is autocompletion not working with member functions such as SetWindowPos. It will show the SDK version instead. |

| VA support for templates is weak. I think WT have said they intend to improve it at some point, but it doesn't seem to be one of their top priorities. |

from the outside it looks like a hard problem, but that is just an educated guess.

Are they working on improving the C++ template parsing? We need know to evaluate if and how many copies of Visual Assist we would buy.
Alternativly, is there a way we could 'help' Visual Assist, for example by giving it some sort of configuration file where we would define by hand classes it can't parse? We don't care if we have to take a few hours to define collection classes that everyone in the company uses.

Files to reproduce certain problems are always welcome.
If they do not cause you too much effort/work, you may mail them to [email protected] and please put the Topic ID (1356) into the mailbody. A short description of the bug/wrong behaviour would be nice...
You can also try to contact support for a longer evaluation-period, if you need some more time. Not promising anything, but with a reasonable explanation this may be possible...
The case-ID is quite 'old', so the devs are already struggling with this one for some time. Maybe your files may speed-up bugfixing.

if you look in:
C:\\Program Files\\Visual Assist X\\Misc
there should be a file called "StdafxVa.h"
from memory VA parses this file very early on. based on the comment line:
// VA needs a bit of help parsing some STD libs
this is used to help the parser make sense of some of the STL code. so it is possible by adding suitable definitions to this file you could give VA enough help to get good results in your specific case.
however i have never done this myself so i don't know how easy this will be. |

If you can create a tiny example to exhibit the problem, it would help us provide a workaround. As mentioned, we might coax VA X into reading alternate definitions that give you the info you want.
