Is there a way to get an automatic member list on an array variable? This is something that used to work in older versions of VA.NET, and has ceased to work for VA X.

I'm coding in C++. An easy way to reproduce the problem is to add the following lines (in local scope) anywhere in the code.

struct myStruct
{
    _ulong a;
    _ulong b;
    _ulong c;
};

myStruct var1;
myStruct pVar2[1];


Typing var1 and hitting the period key results in an auto-member dropdown list, as expected. However, typing pVar2[0] and hitting the period key results in absolutely nothing. You have to hit Ctrl-Space to get the member list.

Is this change by design? Is this a known issue?

Thanks in advance for any help.

interesting. as an experiment, i also tried:
string names[2];
names[0].|

at this point i get a completion listbox showing the member functions for the string class.

however, your example fails, even with VAX 1283.

case=436
