Hello,
A little while ago I installed Visual Assist X. Now whenever I go attempt to use the various combo boxes in Add New Variable dialog or Add New Member Function Dialog in Visual Studio 2005, the drop down functionality no longer works, and instead I have to use the up and down arrow keys to select the item I wish to use. Is this normal?
Regards,
James Simpson |

do you have any other plugin's installed? which language is this?
my first guess is that this is not normal, since i do not recall anyone else mentioning this. how are you triggering these dialogs? using VS2005 and a C++ project i have prodded class explorer and had a look in the menus, but so far i have not found any sign of this option. |

Hello again,
I am using Visual Studio 2005 Pro, in a MFC based project. I notice this issue in particular, in the Add Variable dialog. Try clicking the access type (public,private,etc) drop down box, and you should see that it is not dropping down.
Sincerely,
James Simpson |

but how do i trigger this dialog??? i have just been through the IDE menu's a second time, and the closest thing i can find in VS2005 is project menu -> add class. this is not giving me the ability to add a variable to an existing class. i am using an MFC project (it was created as an MFC project) so that should not be a problem.
personally i just edit my classes by hand, so i have never needed this. |

| Open Class View, right-click on a class, select Add -> Add Variable. |

Hello again,
I would like to clarify the bug details for you. First, this appears to be occuring the most in the add member variable wizard when in the form view of a dialog box in MFC using Visual C++ 2005. Therefore to reproduce such a bug, go into the design view of a dialog box in a MFC project, right click on a control and click Add Variable. When the dialog box appears, click the various dropdown dialog boxes (especially the access dropdown box). You should notice that this dropdown box does not function properly.
Sincerely,
James Simpson |

i am sure i tried that before. *experiments* i get the add sub menu when i do this, but all it offers me is "add class" and "add resource" *sigh* it appears VS2005 does not like my test project.
turning to the dialog editor i have tried an existing and a new dialog. right clicking on a control offers me "add variable" but so far it is always disabled.
right, time for a brand new project. using VS2005 i have created a new C++ -> MFC -> MFC Application and i get an error saying "permission denied" *rolls eyes* VS2005 really does not like code on network drives.
are you sure you would not rather use VS2003? 
right, i now have a new local MFC project. i accepted all of the default values when creating it.
opening the IDD_ABOUTBOX form in design view, via the "Resource View" i am now getting this add variable dialog. all of the drop down lists work perfectly for me.
straightwaytek do you have time to perform the same test? simply create a new, default, project and try the about dialog form? i am right clicking on the OK button.
how consistent is the problem for you? do you see it all of the time, or only under certain conditions? |

Hello again,
I will tape the bug using Camtasia, and will send the compressed video to the support department ([email protected]). Before I do this, can you please tell me if that is okay with you, feline?

i have just sent you an email via the forum. if you reply to that email with the movie attached it will reach me directly, which is probably easier.
hopefully it will shed some light on what is going on here. |
