I hadn't noticed before but when I hover over a variable (const or otherwise) it sometimes displays the variable's initializing value and other times it leaves out the intializing value.
I have the following code:
const char* NAME = "Ray";
...
if(strKey == NAME)
{
strNewRecName = oNewRecord["TDAM"];
}
When I hover over NAME in the if() a tool tip pops up saying:
const char* NAME = "Ray";
If I move the cursor off the variable (the tooltip closes) and then back over the variable, the tooltip that appears is different:
const char* NAME;
The only way to get the tooltip to display the declaration of the variable AND it's value is to hover over something else to cause a different tooltip to appear, and then to go back to the NAME variable and hover over it once again.
Is this VAX kind of working, or am I looking at a VAX tool tip one time, and then a dev studio another time? It would be nice if it always displayed the initializing value, especially for a const variable. |

| By the way, this is ocurring while editing the code, not when debugging. |

Exactly this. I believe this is related to the "prefer intellisense" setting which seems to work "most of the time" and sometimes overrides VAX's better tooltips.
Hopefully fixed in the next build(s). |

| I do have the "Prefer Intellisense" setting turned off. If that setting is only partially working, then I hope it gets fixed in the next release. |

Enabling "Prefer Intellisense" means you want VA X to give the IDE the option of displaying a tooltip. If the IDE does not, VA X tries.
You see tooltips from the IDE and VA X. One contains an initial value; the other does not. We cannot change what the IDE displays. We do make VA X try its best. Not sure in this case, which knows the initial value and which does not. |
