Hello, Whole Tomato. :)

Consider the following:


class Example
{
    enum Signs
    {
        POSITIVE,
        NEGATIVE,
        ZERO,
        UNKNOWN
    };
public:
    Signs GetSign() const;
};

If you right click on "GetSign", and select "Refactor (VA X)" -> "Create Implementation", VA X will create this function:


Signs Example::GetSign() const
{
    
}

This will not compile, because the "Signs" enum is not known outside of the class. It should instead produce


Example::Signs Example::GetSign() const
{
}

Thanks!

Which IDE and version of VA are you using?

I am getting the correct return type for your example code using VA 1850 and VS2008, testing in C++.

Hmm... interesting. Only happens with one of my projects. Unfortunately I can't send you guys the project -- the code is not all mine -- but if I find a concrete set of steps to repro this I'll be back. :)
