I remember VA always has problems with autocompleteing operators. In fact, for a long time, it wasn't supported at all.
Currently, when I use CString, I see operator LPCTSTR in list, but it gets autocompleted into:
operator operatorLPCTSTR()

what CString class are you using? in VS 2003, C++ if i add the code:
CString strName = "feline";
to a file no LPCTSTR operator is listed for the CString class. the IDE's help is taking me to CStringT, and this operator is not listed.
at a wild guess this sounds like a cast operator, and if so, now would VA be able to suggest it? i am expecting you to end up with:
(LPCTSTR)strName; |

Currently I use CString found in VS6SP5.
operator operatorLPCTSTR() is pasted *always*, but with small correction - it is also listed like that in autocomplete popup window.

using VC6 CString i have the function:
_AFX_INLINE CString::operator LPCTSTR() const
{ return m_pchData; }
defined in "c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\VC98\\MFC\\Include\\AFX.INL"
isn't this a cast operator? certainly i am not getting this suggested with the code:
CString strName("Feline");
strName.|
can you post a few lines of code to show me what you are doing? |

Bwah... Terminology...
Yes, a cast operator, but, in C++ you are allowed to use them as function call, if you like - and I like that sometimes, to be more explicit in the code.
OK, I write exactly what you've wrote and autocomplete popup appears. If I scroll, at the letter 'o', I get that
operator operatorLPCTSTR()
. I can snapshot if you don't believe. ;) Currently, VS6SP6, VA1424, unicode project, but I remember getting that in VS8beta2 as well...

for what ever reason i never call an overloaded operator directly like that in my C++ code. so i am vaguely aware you can do it, but without hunting up a reference book i would not know how to do it. hence the questions.
it turns out to be slightly more subtle than this. for me with this code jumping to the items starting with O i do not see "operator operatorLPCTSTR" because the listbox is not wide enough. i only get that with the code:
strName.op|
however i now see the same thing you are seeing
case=818 |
