First of all , I must to say that VSX is a good work!
But, from the version 1418 ( not included ) , I found there is a bug ,which make me sad , it can't display comments from source corrently.
Is there something I can do to void this bug ?

EV: winXP sp2 , VS 2003 & VS 2005.

Are you getting comments from headers when you hover?

Do you get comments from source sometimes? If so, what might be unique about the location of the files or the format of the comments which do work?

Have you tried build 1438?

I can not get any comment from headers or sources when I hover ,but it is all right in 1418. I write the same comment in headers and sources , but I never get any comments from it.

BTW, I am using build 1438,since 1418.
Best wishes.

can you post a small sample of code showing a function and a comment from a header file that worked in 1418 (showed you the comment when you hovered over the function call) but that does not work any longer in 1438?

which IDE and language are you using? i am guessing C++ from the reference to headers, but it is best to check.

I am having the same trouble. I am using version 1434. I can see the comments from header. However I can not see the comments from the source. Does anyone have a code sample that shows comments from the source? Or is this a bug in this version?

this is a known and existing bug, which has been assigned the bug number "235", which is what support are referring to with the line case=235

when you need to display screen shots i host them at http://photobucket.com/ and then just link to them. i don't know how this site compares to others, but it does what i need

I have the very same situation with MS Visual C++ 6.0 SP6.

Having checked "Display comments from source files when available" in the Options dialog, the comments of the header files are shown, but no comments of the implementation file (cpp).

So, it seems that comments of the cpp files are skipped in general, regardless of the checked option.

I'm using version 1440.

No, comments from source (.cpp) do never appear.
I have tried to open the source file and hover with the mouse over the function name, the comments from header file appear, but never the comments from the source file.

Anything new on this (case=235)?
I see that there is heavy development going on currently, maybe it's possible to look into this one also?

case 235 is already down as "fix soon". some work has been done on it, but not completed. i suspect it is proving harder than expected to resolve.

we get a lot of bug reports, and have a lot of open bugs at any one time, so sometimes it is difficult to estimate when a particular bug will be resolved.

Case 235 is fixed in our 1530 beta build. The fix was included in an overhaul of how our Goto (Alt+G) command collects and stores locations.

Comments from stable includes are found when our symbol databases are rebuilt, e.g. after install of 1530.

"Parse all headers when opening project" needs to be enabled in the VA X options prior to opening a project if you want VA X to find comments in your own sources.
