I frequently need to find the declaration of a local variable.
Example:
void Afunction() {
bool found;
found = false;
}
Right click on the second 'found' and select Goto Declaration. VA or Visual Studio will say "The symbol 'found' is not defined."
Obviously VA has this variable in its database so it should be able to find it.
using Visual Assist X 10.1.1418.0 with Visual Studio 2002 C++

you are asking the IDE here, not VAX. using your example in C++, VS 2003 and VAX 1418 i get exactly the same response from this right click option.

instead try the keyboard shortcut alt_g or VAssistX menu -> Goto Implementation

for me this works perfectly, and is asking VAX to do this. you should also find it is considerably faster than the IDE's version.

Thanks, works fine. As you can see, I have not learned all the tricks of Visual Assist yet.
