using the code:
CString strTest;
strTest.formatme|

as you say, the suggestion isn't listed. however, if i now press ctrl_space i get:



notice that the tooltip is for FormatMessageA
this could be related to 2578 in the private beta section. i will add a case tonight when i get home.

There are many definitions of CString. One uses a compiler macro, __if_exists(), that VA X does not recognize. Hence, VA X does not think FormatMessage is a member of your CString.
Class CString{
  int GetLength();
   __if_exists(StringTraits::FormatMessage)
   {
     int FormatMessage();
   }
};

If our option to "Use default Intellisense" is set, or "Get content from default Intellisense" is set in VA X 10.1, FormatMessage appears as a member. (This is because the hand-crafted database shipped with default Intellisense has an entry for FormatMessage.)

If our option is not set, FormatMessage is not a member when typing "strTest.form". Interestingly, FormatMessage does appear when you type "strTest.formatm" and another press another Ctrl+Space. At this point, VA X asks default Intellisense for help.

The fix requires a change in our parser so we recognize __if_exists().

I just tested this case 265 in the new Version 1274.
But it isn't fixed.

*checks* this is because the case hasn't been done yet. there are lots of things to do, so not everything gets done immediately.

this is probably best, otherwise whole tomato would be setting a terrible example for my boss!
