I'm using VAX 1432 within VS 2005 Pro in a C# project. When VAX is enabled, the IDE selects the correct types in Intellisense, but the tooltip for the type is incorrect. When I hit the tab key to insert the selection, the incorrect type is inserted. The inserted type is always off by one. It is consistantly the type previous in the list. If I disable VAX, the tooltip is correct and the proper type is inserted.


VAX Enabled



VAX Disabled


Any ideas? I've tried changing the VAX listbox property to tell it to get it's content from the default intellisense, but it doesn't make a difference.

does this happen for all types? does it only happen after new? do you have the time to try the following basic experiment:

create a new C# windows form project
in the main function insert "MessageBox"

do you get the correct tooltip as you type to select MessageBox in the listbox? do you have to scroll in the listbox to get the incorrect tooltip?

do you have any other addin's installed?

I found the problem. There is something odd going on with VAX and how it handles a private delegate. Consider the code below...

using System;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
private delegate void ATestDelegate();

public static void Main()
{
}

private void Test()
{

<-- Press Ctrl-Space right here to invoke intellisense...

}
}
}

You will notice that everything up to the point where 'ATestDelegate' should be alphabetically inserted is ok. After that point, the tooltips are out of sync with the current item in the intellisense list.

I verified this occurs in C# on VS 2005 Pro as well as VS 2003 Pro on multiple computers with the exact same behavior.

VB in VS2005 exhibits the same problem as well, but not in VS 2003.

If the delegate is made public or internal, everything works fine.

HTH,

i am seeing the same thing, a good catch

for me in VS2003 the tooltips are off by one, but the correct item is inserted. while in VS2005 the tooltips are off by one, and the wrong item is inserted, which matches the tooltip. nasty.
