There are days when you wanna cry...
Using ONLY WTL in my projects, I have a variable of type CMenu. The context bar shows me "WTL.CMenu", the definition bar shows me "typedef CMenuT<true> CMenu", yet the HCB shows me that CMenu is derived from CObject and Alt+G brings me - you might have guessed it already - C:\\...\\MFC\\Include\\AFXWIN.H(1080).
Even while in this file, hovering over CMenu shows:
When I switch between AFXWIN.H and my CPP file, things somehow get worse, now the definition bar shows CMenu from the MFC, the completion list shows the members from WTL, the tooltip shows MFC...
Please, someone give me a hankerchief...  |

| Same thing happens with any class which is defined in the MFC and WTL/ATL (CMenu, CWindow, CFileDialog, etc) |

| What a relieve: removed all trails of MFC (includes) and rebuilt symbols, now I have the whole WTL/ATL as it was ment. (Just hope I wont need MFC too soon) |

Your chosen path is the right one. Get rid of all MFC from the IDE settings or do the same in our options dialog after setting Platform to Custom. Rebuild and go.
VA X is nice in that it lets you do adust to your current environment -- even Linux developers use VA X. Unfortunately, we offer no convenient way to switch settings. Not too cool for the guy who works in several, completely unrelated workspaces that use different technologies. |

I cant agree with you that this is the right way. VAX should be able to determine from the project which includes to use.
When there is no include of a certain file in the whole project (excluding for now that one may specify includes on the compiler commandline) then it is very unlikely that a symbol comes from it, even less likely when there is an valid include which declares the very same symbol.
I would imagine it not too hard to detect this kind of clashes, which in the worst case could be resolved by asking the user which symbol to include. Maybe by just spitting out a list in the output window with duplicate definitions.
For now, one has to live with either wrong definitions, or fiddling with include path settings for every project. |

since i am back programming full time under UNIX again, and for a few more days, what do you mean by this? are the Linux developers running VAX in VS under windows? if so, why?
or are they somehow getting the benifits of VAX under Linux?  |

| Of course we can't speak for all, but we know some of our Linux users have PCs with Windows. They create network drives to access Unix files on other machines. They use a Microsoft IDE to edit. They configure our C/C++ Directories tab so VA X can find all the headers. |
