Odd. I am seeing the same effect here, and trying to understand why. So far it seems to be limited to std::make_unique which is something.

Does a valid listbox appear when you press CTRL-SPACE? It does for me.

struct simpleDateTypeForPointer
{
	short nCharHeight;
	short nCharWeight;
	bool bWearingHat;
	bool bCarryingSword;
};

	TObjectPtr<simpleDateTypeForPointer> localTPtr;
	localTPtr;

Thank you for the details. This suggests VA isn't working out the return type of "std::make_unique" as you have probably worked out. I am aware we have run into some problems with "std::make_unique" before, but the problem with TObjectPtr is a completely new one for me.

I am looking into the make_unique and make_shared problem now.


For "TObjectPtr", using VS2022, VA 2530 and UE 5.2, I have set up the following very simple test case. In a header file I have the following struct:

struct simpleDateTypeForPointer
{
	short nCharHeight;
	short nCharWeight;
	bool bWearingHat;
	bool bCarryingSword;
};

and in the cpp file I am using it like this:

	TObjectPtr<simpleDateTypeForPointer> localTPtr;
	localTPtr;

typing the dot after "localTPtr", the dot is automatically converted to -> for me, and I automatically get a listbox appear.

I have just tried disabling IDE intellisense via:

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Disable Database = True

and restarting VS2022. No change in how VA handles this code. A quite Find in Files for TObjectPtr is showing plenty of usage like this, suggesting this is reasonable code to write. But is this what you are doing in UE? If so, which version of UE are you using?

Do you have:

VA Options -> Editor -> Convert dot to -> in C/C++

turned On?

If you use Alt-Shift-G on "localTPtr" and look at "Types of Symbol", what do you see? Testing in UE 5.3, I have 2 sub-items, which are:

TObjectPtr<simpleDateTypeForPointer>
> simpleDateTypeForPointer


and if you instead select "Goto member..." in the menu, you should get a dialog showing the members of TObjectPtr<simpleDateTYpeForPointer> which holds 48 items, including an operator->

How does this compare to what you are seeing?
