I don't know if this is new, but my class members comments
in header files aren't being completely displayed. For example, see how only the first line of the comment appears in the tip in WT_1217_SHORTTUP.BMP, for which I have the following member variable defined. (Sorry it's so wide, but I pasted this in directly from the source, so that you'd have the exact code.)


// Data.
private:
	WORD		m_wFlakeBoxFbid;					// Unique identifier.

	static CMapWordToPtr	m_mapFlakeBoxFbids;		// Maps each class derived
													// from this one to an id.
};

There is a limit to how far MS and VA X look for comments. Your example is one of many in which entire comments are not extracted.

We continue to improve our comment extraction and will use your example when improving a future build.

Okay, I'm hearing that there is an evolving set of "styles", for lack of a better word, of comment that VAX can fully parse. Can you provide us examples of those styles? That way, if one of them is close to something I can live with, I might be willing to alter my comments, going forward at least...
