Modifying the following variable name is not reflected in the class browser even after reparsing the file.

typedef struct PttAppBookObj_t
{
...
boolean pttAutoLaunchActive;
...
} PttAppBookObj_t;

We assume you refer to our Hovering Class Browser (HCB) when you say, "class browser."

We get behavior one expects. We rename a member variable, hover over a different symbol, hover over the struct again and the new variable name appears in the HCB.

Is your struct defined in a cpp file?

the struct is defined in a .h file. I modified 3 variable names in the struct, saved the file and reparsed and the HCB never updates the variable names.

Now I see both the new variable names and the old variable names in the HCB. I can modify a variable name in the struct, save the file, reparse, hover over another type/struct to change contents of HCB then hover over struct i modified and the new variable name shows up in addition to the old variable names that no longer exist in the struct. I would think reparsing the file would update the HCB?

using VC6 and VAX 1418 i cannot reproduce this problem either.

on the theory that the structure name might somehow be relevant i placed the following into a .h file:

typedef struct PttAppBookObj_t
{
    int nInitial;
    int nSecond;
    boolean pttAutoLaunchActive;
    short nCounter;
} PttAppBookObj_t;


i have renamed "pttAutoLaunchActive" 3 times, and each time after giving VAX a couple of seconds to automatically reparse the file, so that the new structure component is shown as bold i hovered the mouse pointer over this new name, and the HCB jumped to this item in the structure, and showed its new name.

do you get this problem with other structures? if not can you post the complete structure you are using?

I found the problem.

I had listed my directory to parse under VAX Options->C/C++ Directories->Custom->Stable include files. This causes havoc on the HCB when modifying the structs, even after reparsing the file the struct contains the modified variable names.

Changing the directory to parse to VAX Options->C/C++ Directories->Custom->Other include files avoids the HCB issues.

Is the .h file not a part of your VC project? Just curious about your use of the Custom directory list.
