using VAX 1219 and VS .NET 2003 i have a .h where VAX cannot open the corresponding .cpp file.

i have been moved over to working on our windows software, and have been dropped into the middle of a rather large looking project - so my descriptions may be a bit vague as i still working out what i am looking at.

when editing "mtQtPatient.h" i use either alt_o (which is bound to "open corresponding .h or .cpp" or the toolbar button and:

the resource view window pops out from the right hand side, it is set to auto hide.
the folder called "mtQtPatient.rc" is highlighted, inside the project (at a guess, it doesn't have a folder icon) mtQtPatient.

if i manually open the matching file "mtQtPatient.cpp" and use alt_o then VAX correctly finds and opens the .h file.

so far this is a one off problem that is 100% consistent. none of the other .h files i have tried this with (perhaps 10 in this set of projects) have this problem.

i have closed and re-opened VS, which had no effect.

the file locations are:
c:\\base\\widgets\\include\\mtQtPatient.h
c:\\base\\widgets\\src\\mtQtPatient.cpp

which is standard for this program, and hasn't caused VAX any problems anywhere else. both file are also in the same "Solution" in the "Solution Explorer"

i have just found a second instance of this problem, and i think i know the trigger.

while looking at the file:
c:\\base\\widgets\\include\\mtQtIcons.h

alt_o goes wrong, using both VAX 1219 and 1220

opening up "Open File in Workspace" and filtering this on "mtqticons." i see 4 items:

c:\\base\\widgets\\src\\mtQtIcons.cpp
c:\\base\\ResourceFiles\\mtQtIcons.h
c:\\base\\widgets\\include\\mtQtIcons.h
c:\\base\\ResourceFiles\\mtQtIcons.rc

VAX knows that i am editing "c:\\base\\widgets\\src\\mtQtIcons.cpp" since it puts this path in the definition field on the VAX helper bar. it is as if alt_o instead thinks i am editing "c:\\base\\ResourceFiles\\mtQtIcons.h"

mtQtPatient.h is slightly more complex, since "Open File in Workspace" lists 5 matching files. the first 4 follow the same pattern as with mtQtIcon, and there is an additional "mtQtPatient.xpm" file.

in both cases, if i open the .cpp file then alt_o opens the correct .h file. so this confusion over the "resource" files only seems to work one way
