I have a class that has a bunch of member variable starting with m_ and I don't have any that start with m_ss. I'm using WTL and my class is derived from one of the Window classes.

If I type this-> a list box pops up with my class members. I start typing m_ and it jumps correctly to the section in the list with m_ variables. However, if I keep typing and type ss (to make this->m_ss) all of a sudden I'm done on a method SetPosition which I clearly don't want since I started my typing with m_ . The default intellisense does not do this. It stays in the m_ variable section.

Proper intellisense is 75% of what I use VAX for (the other 25% is for the auto complete) so I really, really want intellisens to work properly.

strange, i have never seen VAX do this. WLT? is this a library for C++?

do you have a simple class that shows this problem? if so, i will try it, and see if it goes wrong for me.

WTL is the Windows Template Library, an abortive effort by Microsoft to create a lightweight alternative for MFC. The WTL is today continued as an open source project: http://www.codeproject.com/wtl/

interesting so many things to learn about

does the list box shrink as you type m_ ?
this is a VAX option, text editor -> completion -> shrink member listboxes. normally i have this turned on. turning it off, i have just produced:



i am using the Qt library here, and the CdIndexFramework class has the member "m_splitter", which was current when i had:
this->m_s|


with "shrink member listboxes" turned on, i get an empty listbox when i type the second 's'. so i would suggest turning this on for now.
