Create a vanilla MFC project. Go to any method in any CPP file. Type in the following two lines:
CFile fil;
fil.Open(
Now try to discover what the arguments are to the CFile::Open() method. Nothing works for me. I have reparsed, rebuilt, cleaned, etc.
Can anyone else duplicate this, or is my machine hopelessly hosed? (Oddly, CFile::Close() displays the tooltip, and the definition in VAX's definition bar, just fine.)

Just created a new project with MFC AppWizard (exe). I opened VATestDoc.cpp, and in CVATestDoc::Serialize started to write:
CFile fil;
fil. dot opened a member list box
fil.O list box narrowed with Open selected and arguments displayed in a tooltip, accepted with Tab
fil.Open(|) and now I have a cursor inside parentheses and a tooltip with arguments.

Are you using .NET 2003 on WinXP Pro like me?

| Sorry, I didn't notice the post title. No, I'm using VC++ 6.0 (anyway - should it matter for VA X?). |

The way it's going for me lately, I'm sure that the phase of the moon, the color of our eyes, and the current LIBOR rate matter to VAX... I can't get the thing to behave consistently to save my life.
Hey, guess what? My double-re-install didn't fix this problem... I still don't get the tooltip for Open(). I wonder if anyone running .NET 2003/XP *does* get the tooltip...

I created a new project using File->New->Project... I selected "MFC Application" as the project type. After that I accepted the defaults.
I typed your code at the top of CMainFrame::CMainFrame(). Putting my cursor on Open gives me the following in the definition bar: "using CFile :: Open". I suspect this may be a clue. Typing a comma inside the parentheses doesn't give me any help with the arguments, as it should. Hovering over Open gives me a tooltip with "using CFile :: CFile::Open" (weird spacing is genuine), followed by the function declaration.
I tried using LockRange instead of Open. The definition bar gave me the function declaration, as did typing a comma inside the parentheses.
I'm using .NET 2003, VAX 1233 on XP Pro.

Weird. I know VAX has problems with "publicizing" methods via the using keyword - but CFile::Open() isn't publicized! It's a virtual method. So why does VAX say "using" there? Is it seeing some CFile-derived class's Open() declaration?

Neither does Ctrl-Shift-space. (Actually, the first time I put a comma inside the parentheses, I got a tooltip that said something like, "int Open(". Of course, now it's two minutes later, so VAX behaves differently, and no longer does that.

Yeah, my tooltip looks like:
I think the "using" version is keeping VAX from seeing the second version.

Yup, that one works fine for me too.
Thanks for the data point.

| I'm seeing problems with anything that is cascading (X::Y::Z), none of my classes, defined inside of classes, seem to resolve anymore for VAX. |

in my code, the nearest easy test i have is the constructor in a .cpp file:
mtQtPatientPathologyListView::Item::Item( mtQtPatientPathology &pathology, QListViewItem *parent )
{
m_|
}where | is the caret. ctrl_space at this point lists the member variables in the class Item, which is defied inside the class mtQtPatientPathologyListView in its .h file. |

File::Open/using proglem will be fixed in 1240.
feline, can you send an example. We tried the simple example below and it appears to work fine.
class cx1
{
class cx2
{
int m_cx2;
void Methcx2();
};
};
cx1::cx2::Methcx2()
{
m_ // suggests m_cx2
}
