I can't seem to get parameter info to display at all.

After typing ClassName instance( , nothing pops up.

- I have the feacp.dll file renamed to disable Intellisense
- I have "Auto List Members" and "Parameter Info" unchecked in Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> All Languages
- I have "Get content from default Intellisense" unchecked in Visual Assist X Options -> Advanced -> Listboxes
- I have everything checked in Visual Assist X Options -> Advanced -> Suggestions

There doesn't seem to be an "Auto parameter info" option in the Visual Assist X Options anymore as described here (in "Options in Microsoft Visual C/C++" section): http://www.wholetomato.com/products/features/parameter.asp

System info:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2008

I was able to reproduce the problem, however I am wondering whether you are seeing the same problem.

class testclass
{
	testclass(int param) {}
	void test()
	{
		testclass obj()
	}
};

If I press ctrl+shift+space (the combination for the param. info tooltip) inside the parens in "test" member, I get nothing. However, if I close it with ; like

...
testclass obj();
...

then I got correct result inside the same parens. I don't see this problem with methods. Are you seeing the same effect on your side?

I am seeing the same effect.

Also, after the parameter info pops up with the first parameter bolded and I supply the first argument, the next parameter does not become bold. I have to manually press ctrl+shift+space again for the current parameter to bold.

Thank you for the confirmation. The assigned number for this case is

case=32921

However I wasn't able to reproduce your second problem. If I replace the constructor with 2 parameters, like

testclass(int param, int param2) {}

then I press ctrl+shift+space inside the parens of the initialization, and type "1, " then I get the tooltip and the second parameter is bolded:

1. testclass obj(|); // ctrl+shift+space
2. testclass obj(1, |); // the second parameter is bold

Do you get different results with these steps as well?

I did get different results.

I've attached a screenshot showing right after I've typed "1, ".

A second pressing of ctrl+shift+space does bold the second parameter.

Did some more test, but still no luck.
Can you please export your Visual Studio and Visual Assist settings, so I can import them here to see if it makes any difference?

VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings

You can send them via this form:
http://www.wholetomato.com/support/contact.asp

Please include the URL of this topic in the description field so we can match it up.

Also, can you please create a new win32 test project to see if you experience the same problem there as well? I am wondering what may cause this effect for you...

I got the files, thank you. Now, I am seeing the same effect here:

case=4399

The culprit is the following IDE option:

Tools -> Options... -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> General -> Parameter information

This option must be turned on despite intellisense is turned off. This shouldn't be this way, though.
