Alt-G is great to find what header a symbol is defined so you can know what header to include. If VA-X knows this info, it could automatically add the correct #include on request. I wouldn't care if it didn't get it right 100% of the time.

Problem here is:
MAX_PATH is defined in windef.h

windef.h is included in windows.h

Same goes for several functions. How long will you wait for VAX finding the correct #include buried down in the various headers?

Stefan,
As Frank says "I wouldn't care if it didn't get it right 100% of the time". For example NetBeans in case of ambiguity presents a list of possible choices. It could work at least for simple cases, for example for classes declared in the current project.

this has been asked before, and WT's comment was that if VAX inserts the wrong header, even occasionally, this is very bad!

however, offering a suggestion, or a list of possible headers sounds good to me so long as it is the user to says which header to include, rather than VAX, it shouldnt be a problem.

Another problem will be where to insert this line. At the begining of the file? After a file comment header if it exists? After the sometimes used "#ifdef _THISFILEINCLUDEDALREADY_" line? After any already existing "#include"? What about dependencies in existing included files?
I think it might be the best to just put the line in the clipboard so the user can paste it where ever appropriate.
