I've just spent my first 15 minutes playing with WinForms (which makes me an ideal Beta tester, as I have no Earthly idea what I'm doing). Given code like this:

private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object *  sender,
                                    System::EventArgs *  e)
{
   this->linkLabel1->Text = S"Don't Click me!";
}

private: System::Void linkLabel1_Click(System::Object *  sender,
                                       System::EventArgs *  e)
{
   this->linkLabel1->
}
... notice how in the first method, the linkLabel1 object seems to have an attribute called "Text". Am I correct in thinking that VAX should list the attributes in the second method after I type the "->"? Because it doesn't, even when I do Ctrl-space or Alt-T. There are also a lot of syntax coloring issues...

I thing VAX has no idea in VC++ how to parse managed types. When I type System:: I get the default VS.NET intellisense and not VAX's. That seems to indicate that VAX is giving up and passes the symbol lookup on to VS.NET.

Will VAX in managed C++ support managed types before it is released? Could be quite some work for your parser to not only parse pure C/C++ definitions but .Net meta data, also? On the other side, parsing of managed types works in pure .Net languages like C#...
