Ever since I upgraded to VA-X, I don't get the function parameters tooltip any more, no matter what.
I have the latest build, and tried small/large projects.

Example:
I type the following program:
------------------------
int f1(int a, int b) { return a+b; }

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
int c=f1( // Problem after opening the paren'
.
.
.

------------------------

In previous versions, I used to get a useful tooltip with the list of parameters.

which version of VAX have you upgraded to?

using .NET 2003, C++, winXP pro SP2 and VAX 1289 and placing your example into a cpp file i am getting a parameter tooltip

do you have any other plugin's installed? if you disable VAX do you start to see tooltips? can you check your parameter tooltip option? in .NET 2003:

tools menu -> options -> text editor -> C/C++ -> general -> parameter information

from memory if this gets turned off it can produce the effect you are seeing.

Thanks feline.

The parameter information flag was turned off. Turning it on fixed the problem.
What I'm not sure about is whether the flag was off all the time, and just VA 7 worked without it, or did VA X turn it off.

We believe VA X does not uncheck the setting -- that seems counterproductive. VA X reads the setting to determine if you want parameter info.

In any regard, we are glad your problem is solved.
