I would VAX to tell me the filename in which a symbol is defined.
Sometimes, I am writing new code & I use classes that are not #included in the current file. VAX recognises the names, however, and so the syntax coloring does not give me a clue that there is a compile error "on the way", so to speak.
So then I compile, & VC complains (quite justifiably) thst I have not defined class "Blah", or whatever. So now I want to add a header entry for the class.
Using VAX, I can click on the offending symbol & see its definition in the "VA View pane". I can now press Alt+G to open the header where it is declared. This gives me the filename, but not the path. However, if I have the "Include opened files" option checked in the SIW, I can then hover over the filename to get the path, and type it into my #include.
Actually, I find I use this technique quite a lot. I have 2000+ header files in 50+ directories to choose from, and it saves me some time.
What I would *really* like would be a more convenient scheme. Something like displaying the header filename in VA View so that I can copy the relevant sub-path & paste into a #include.
