i am not sure if this is by design or not, but it really confused me.
using VS .NET 2003, VAX 1239 and C++
i was editing some code in a class that contained the member functions:
virtual const QString &display( const QString &strSystemCode = QString::null ) = 0;
void displayColumnHead(QString &strDisplay, const QString &strTitle);
void displayStartCell(QString &strDisplay, short nColSpan = 0);
void displayEndCell(QString &strDisplay);
at the time i had forgotten about the member function display. so, i had typed:
display|
where | was my caret, and i pressed ctrl_space, several times. it did nothing, no matter how many times i pressed it. i actually wanted the function displayColumnHead, so pressing ctrl_space seemed quite reasonable at the time.
in VAX i have prefer default intellisense turned off.
if this is by design, a comment on the status bar to say that display is a valid member function would help 
VAView is set to auto hide (due to small monitor) so that wouldn't have helped me spot the oops.
