Now when I type "pp.", up pops a VS.NET intellisense box. I can't get it to produce a VAX equivalent. I've tried turning off "Auto list members" and "Parameter information" in the C++ editor options, but to no avail. (The VS.NET box isn't very good, because about 60% of the time it disappears the moment I press the down arrow, and when I select a function from it VAX often doesn't recognise I've got a function name and therefore doesn't bring up the parameter tooltip.)
(As another annoyance the C++ editor options switch themselves back on _every time_ I load VS.NET. Is this VAX' doing?)
Leave the VS.NET options checked. Toggle behavior with the "Use Default IntelliSense..." option on the C/C++ node of the VA X options dialog.
If our option is enabled, VS.NET gets a chance at displaying a members listbox or parameter info. If it does not, VA X gets a chance. If the option is not enabled, VA X displays everything.
