Can you please try going to the file where the class is declared and showing VA Outline. Are the bool member variables shown in VA Outline? If not, are any other members missing? What about the member immediately above the first problem bool? I am wondering if there is a complex macro, or something else, that might be triggering this problem.

This is a little unexpected. Lets try something else.

If you show VA View, then place keyboard focus back into the editor, and now hover the mouse over the problem class or one of its members, is the correct information displayed in the bottom half of VA View?

Are all of the class members being listed, including the problem bool members?

Can you please look in your VA options, and see if you have:

VA Options -> Advanced -> Listboxes -> Get content from default Intellisense

turned On or Off? Does changing this setting have any effect on this problem?

Can you please open VA's Find Symbol dialog, turn Off the checkbox "Show only symbols defined in current solution" and then filter the list for the name of the problem class.

Are you seeing more than one class listed, or just the one class with its members? I am just checking to see if a duplicate class name might be a factor here.

If you are only seeing the one class, can you please try placing the caret into one of the working member variables and look at the VA context and definition fields. Now place the caret into one of the problem bool variables and look at the context and definition fields again. Is this offering any useful clues?

What is shown when you place the caret into the type "bool"?

struct felineTestVariableTypes
{
	bool m_boolMember;
	const bool m_constBoolMember;
	bool *m_boolPointer;
	const bool *m_constBoolPointer;
	int m_intMember;
};

void felineTestUsingStructMembers()
{
	felineTestVariableTypes felineFoo;
	// type dot after this type
	felineFoo;
};

Thank you for that. Duplicate class names was a bit of a long shot, but worth checking on the off chance. A new idea, are the classes you are seeing the problem with derived from anything? Or don't they have parents?

Can you please try adding a new, empty header file to your solution and then place this code into the header file:

struct felineTestVariableTypes
{
	bool m_boolMember;
	const bool m_constBoolMember;
	bool *m_boolPointer;
	const bool *m_constBoolPointer;
	int m_intMember;
};

void felineTestUsingStructMembers()
{
	felineTestVariableTypes felineFoo;
	// type dot after this type
	felineFoo;
};

what do you get with this struct?

Since this is a simple struct, there are no class hierarchy complications, and putting it into an empty header file removes any direct problems from something further up the header file.

Can both of you do a quick check and see if you have a file called "va_stdafx.h" in the same directory as the .SLN or .VCPROJ files?

Bob, can you please load the problem solution, turn on VA logging, load one of the problem header files, and use the command:

VAssistX -> Tools -> Reparse Current File

please also show VA Outline for the file, and also show VA View, then place keyboard focus back into the editor, and now hover the mouse over the class name, so the known members are shown. Now close the IDE to stop the VA log files getting any bigger.

rlcave3rd can you please try making a "va_stdafx.h" file in the same directory as your .SLN file, and adding the code:

#define bool bool

you need to make sure the file ends with a blank line. Now press the button:

VA Options -> Performance -> Rebuild symbol databases

and restart your IDE. Does this fix the problem? If you are seeing something similar to .oisyn then it should, fingers crossed.
