how do I ask visual assist to load a new library (or header or whatever you called that) so that it starts to recognize the new library/header files that I am linking/using? It used to load automatically, but somehow today, it decides not to load and now I losing all my intellisense, auto complete functions. I need them. Please help. Thanks!!!
you are going to have to provide some more details before i can provide any good answers. if this is a standard library you use in many projects then add the directory holding its headers to:
tools menu -> options -> projects -> VC++ directories -> show directories for = include files
this is the dialog location in visual studio 2003.
NO. What is meant is, how do you get intellisense to work for a custom library? I use a open source library. And I used to have the intellisense working. Now, it just stopped working. And I have done nothing! I just want the tomato intellisense to work again. Thanks
- Open Visual Studio (preferably only one instance). - Open the options of Visual Assist. - Go to Projects|C/C++ Directories . - Select Platform Custom. - Select Stable include files. (I assume they won't change often; else choose Other include files.) - Add the include directories belonging to that new library. - Select Source files. - Add the source files directories belonging to that new library. - Press OK. - Close Visual Studio. - Reopen Visual Studio. - Load your project. - Wait until the parsing is done (see the status bar). - Start programming. Hopefully the intellisense is back...
BTW: When changing the VA options, you can probably encounter a message stating that you have to restart the IDE before changes are incorporated.
