Hi,
when typing :: VAX expands it to :_GetBaseClass:

When typing :: after e.g. a class name it depends on the VAX's understanding of the class (I guess that the _GetBaseClass part may vary from project to project type).

so typeing something like:
CTimeline_Occurrence::ERepeatType::eeInterval
ends up being:
CTimeline_Occurrence::ERepeatType:_GetBaseClass:eeInterval
and sometimes even:
CTimeline_Occurrence:_GetBaseClass:ERepeatType:_GetBaseClass:eeInterval


Using: VS6

Good Luck!

cu,
Michael

PS: Apart from the "minor" bug this is some cool stuff!

if you look here:

http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4772

does this seem to be the same as the first problem described in this thread?

case=1331

from your description it looks like you are typing the implementation for a class member function. i have been using the refactoring beta long enough now that i never do this

for this specific case using "Create Implementation" should be a very nice work around. however there are still times when you will run into this bug, but hopefully it will be fixed soon.

I'm actually trying to type an enum member identifier of an enum which is defined within a class - so without entering the :: I can't access the enum. Same for stuff in namespaces. Luckly I encounter these type of situation only ever so often. Guys using STL must go nuts...

CTimeline_Occurrence::ERepeatType::eeInterval

as in:
class CTimeline_Occurrence
{
public:
   enum ERepeatMode
   {
      .
      eeInterval,
      .
   }  m_eRepeatMode;

   .
   .
}

*ah*, well it was a good theory while it lasted

so far this bug is only showing up in VC6, which is something. i have flagged this as urgent and needing to be fixed soon, for obvious reasons.

However, it is not standard compliant C++ to qualify with the Enum name.

CTimeline_Occurrence::eeInterval is OK.
CTimeline_Occurrence::ERepeatType::eeInterval is a violation.

see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173704.aspx.

Yes, guess so... sad only that the VC6 does not know that ... Not doing it for fun.

*sigh* personally i like the non compliant form, it is a lot easier to see what you are doing when working with a library class that contains 15 enum types.

that compiled cleanly for me in VS2003, but VS2005 produces a warning, and my UNIX C++ compiler does not compile it at all.
