What are the rules that this function uses? I'm now working on a project where they go in different folders, and the toggle no longer works as it did when they're in the same place... but the #include paths are set up, so I don't understand why not!
It's amazing how annoying not having this feature is.

| not half as annoying as having VAX show a tooltip and full info on a function and Alt+G doesnt go anywhere. |

tom, i am not sure of the exact algorithm, but if you can post the file names (including full directory location) of the two files then i will see what happens on my machine. i have found one or two cases where VAX cannot find the matching file, but they are normally very rare. do you have more than one file with the same name? do the header and cpp files have the same name, apart from the extension?
Uniwares, is it possible this is an IDE tooltip? i don't think i have ever seen this effect myself, thankfully. |

Feline, maybe my example would help: I have following layout:
d:\\!work\\ProjDir\\arch\\DebugRenderer.h
d:\\!work\\ProjDir\\src\\DebugRenderer.cpp
Switching from cpp to h works, but switching back (from h to cpp) DO NOT WORK! I have installed the King's Tools from CodeProject just to have the switching working correctly (BTW tom, this may be the temporary solution for you, also).

something strange is going on here. since i have a D: available on this machine i have created the directory "!work" and have copied an existing project into it. i have added the required subdirectories, and i now have the files:
D:\\!work\\ob_online_time\\arch\\DebugRenderer.h
D:\\!work\\ob_online_time\\src\\DebugRenderer.cpp
which have been added to a project located in the:
D:\\!work\\ob_online_time\
subdirectory. alt_o swaps me between these two files perfectly. do you have any other files with a file name "DebugRenderer.*" in your working directory that VAX could be getting confused by?
do you have a small test project available that you could copy these two files into and see what alt_o does in that situation? |

Yes, I have DebugRenderer.obj and DebugRenderer.sbr in d:\\!work\\proj_dir\\make\\debug and DebugRenderer.obj in d:\\!work\\proj_dir\\make\\release, but I think that is quite obvious, because such files exists in every cpp project after the compilation, and VAX probably handles them (or, at least, it sholud do). But something is wrong here. This situation concerns not only this file, but every file in the project (all have same layout). Notice, that:
1. I have temporary compiled files in non-standard path (not a subfolder of cpp and h files). Additionally, my project files are located in the d:\\!work\\proj_dir\\make
2. I have the project's directories settings totally changed from the default:
Output Directory: ../bin
General/Intermediate Directory: $(ConfigurationName)
C/C++/Output Files/Object File Name: $(IntDir)/
Linker/General/Output File: $(OutDir)/proj_name.exe
I suspect that this is a source of problems, not the file layout itself.

Maybe the location of the project is the problem? In my situation, it is like:
Z:\\Project\\Lib\\Sdk\\SubLib\\Common\\Includes\\Whatever.h
Z:\\Project\\Lib\\Sdk\\SubLib\\Common\\Source\\Whatever.cpp
Z:\\Project\\Lib\\Sdk\\SubLib\\Pc\\Project\\SubLib.vcproj
and VAX won't toggle between .cpp and .h in either direction.
I will play around when I get a spare moment and see if I can reduce it down to something reproducable. |

beef, i was wondering about duplicate file names. there is one project i work on where there are two files called "mtQtPatient.h", so when you are using "mtQtPatient.cpp" VAX does not know which header file to swap to.
do you have a small sample project that you could zip up and send to me that has this problem? i have tried replicating what is going on, and i now have the following file layout:
D:\\!work\\ob_online_time\\make\\ob_online_time.vcproj
D:\\!work\\ob_online_time\\make\\ob_online_time.suo
D:\\!work\\ob_online_time\\src\\DebugRenderer.cpp
D:\\!work\\ob_online_time\\arch\\DebugRenderer.h
D:\\!work\\ob_online_time\\online_time.cpp
D:\\!work\\ob_online_time\\online_time.h
D:\\!work\\ob_online_time\\StdAfx.cpp
D:\\!work\\ob_online_time\\StdAfx.h
alt_o works correctly for all of these pairs of files for me. the location of the project file vs the source code files does not seem to matter, at least not based on this test. |

| If it's any help, I was slumming it at home the other day with VAX1297 and Vs.NET 2002, with the same project that's giving me grief at work (where we have the latestest VAX -- 1418 I think? -- and VS.NET 2003). The header/cpp toggle was working fine. |

| interesting. given the strange results i have been getting i wonder if some other variable is involved as well as the versions. if i can get a reproducible case here i can test it with VS 2003 and VAX 1297. i don't currently have VS 2002 on hand, but if needed i can install it somewhere. |
