Using build 1293, Visual Studio.NET 2003:
I've been having off-and-on issues with basic Windows types (HWNT, UINT, etc) not being recognized by Visual Assist X. Just today, I hit another case where I right-clicked on a #include line to a DirectX header that is in the DX include paths, selected "Open document", and got an error dialog claiming "file 'dxdiag.h' not found in system build paths". Trouble is, the paths it lists only include those specified in the project settings, and the ones directly specified under the "Custom" platform in the Visual Assist X options.
The "Custom" platform only includes directory paths I specifically tell it to. In my case, these include a path to Havok, the Xbox SDK (I work with code that has Xbox files in it as well as Win32), and a directory of internal library headers.
Do I have to manually move over all the Visual C++ headers to the "Custom" project in order to get additional directories searched? Or should it be picking up the Win32 platform settings as well?

Right-clicking on a #include line and selecting "Open document" is a VS thing, not a VA thing.
Can't talk to the other issue. |

jpizzi is right about selecting "Open document." Perhaps VA X should intercept and fix the command. Another day...
Try moving the caret to the #include and clicking "Goto" to the right of our Definition field, or Alt+G if you are keyboard-centric. VA X should take you to the header, which it finds using either IDE settings or the Custom directories list.
If your DX directories are in the IDE settings, VA X should find your header. If not (but how do you compile?), you might switch to Custom directories. (We always prefer you fix your IDE settings.)
When you switch to Custom directories, the default list is that taken from the IDE settings. The list typically includes of "Visual C++ headers" that are in default IDE settings, so you needn't add them yourself.

| Well, after manually adding the DirectX and Platform SDK headers to the Custom tab, everything seems to be working well. For whatever reason, VAX did not seem to be grabbing the list from the IDE settings (maybe an uninstall and re-install would fix this, it's been back into the beta days since I last did this). |
