One thing that I always want and never get from VAX are the function definitions of the functions defined in the windows.h headers.
Most functions there are defined like

#ifdef UNICODE
#define ExpandEnvironmentStrings  ExpandEnvironmentStringsW
#else
#define ExpandEnvironmentStrings  ExpandEnvironmentStringsA
#endif // !UNICODE

So, clicking on a function shows only the define but not the underlying function definition. VAX could load this even from a predefined list (like the helper .h vax already uses for std lib and others).
Would be extremly helpful.

What are you looking at? using VS2005 and VA 1540 if I call ExpandEnvironmentStrings() then I am getting the parameters tooltip, which lists two overloads, the A and W forms, and it is showing me the parameters for both.

Or are you looking at the VA wizard bar?

*oops* a typo on my part, I am also using 1541. I have just retested this in VS2005 professional, and it is working correctly for me.

If you try alt-g on ExpandEnvironmentStrings(); what happens? I am being offered:

winbase.h:5888
winbase.h:5886

as the two locations for the #define.

using VS2003 and VA 1541 ExpandEnvironmentStrings(); is working just fine for me. In fact the test project probably does not even have the correct include lines for this function call.

Is this function shown in italics for you, assuming you have this option turned on? Alt-g is taking me to the file:

C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\\Vc7\\PlatformSDK\\include\\winbase.h
