This is a one-tomato bug, but the behaviour of keywords in the HCB is a bit weird.
1) Some keywords (return, const) appear in the HCB when you hover over them in the source. Others (if, switch, case) don't.
2) When a keyword appears in the HCB, so do other keywords beginning with the same letter. E.g., return also brings up register and reinterpret_cast.
3) When you hover over a keyword in the HCB, an empty tooltip appears.
.NET 2002, and I'm still on VAX 1223. |

I'm using VS.Net2003 + VAX1230 and the behaviour is still the same or at least similar.
It seems that HCB is only filled when there are items which are qualified as being "similar" and which start with the same letter. So there is no other C++ statement starting with i except if.
What I do not understand is how the keywords are "categorized". return, register and reinterpret_cast are shown in the HCB with an "enum type" icon, while else and elseif (which doesn't exist btw, should be "else if") have a C++ source file icon.
Is there some documentation about this? I could not find much about this in the features.html |

You're right, Sven. I hadn't noticed the different icons.
I think a word might have to begin with the same two letters to appear. So const brings up const_cast and continue, but not case. case doesn't appear because there are no other keywords beginning with "ca". Oh, expect "catch", of course. Back to the drawing board... |

Return and other keywords will no longer show up in the HCB in the build 1231.
This is a feature of the HCB, making it useful to hover over more than just classes and class members. You can hover over #defines and API functions and it will look in the defined header for other similar items. For instance hovering over WS_CHILD will look in winuser.h for other defines that start with WS_.
We are working on official documentation of this feature.
