Hi,
here's the problem :
My Net2003 solution has of a few projects in it.
When I'm editing the file MainFrm.cpp in app1 and I search a method called 'StartApp' by using the combobox at the top of the document,
VAX finds the method 'StartApp' in app2 and opens the file MainFrm.cpp of app2.
App1 is selected as the 'Startup Project' in Net2003...
Best regards
Alex |

In this case what are you expecting to happen?
VA does not know if a function defined in project 2 is available to project 1 or not, so it offers you the choice of jumping to it. |

Hi,
I would expect that VA starts searching for methods which are declared in the current file / current class / current active project first, and then iterates trough the list of projects in the solution...

In this particular case is this method defined in the current file or class?
Normally alt-g (the go to method) is very reliable and useful. |

Hi,
I have removed the second project and added it to the solution again.
VA can find the StartApp in the first project, but when I set the 2nd project as active and open the MainFrm.cpp, selecting 'StartApp' in the upper right combobox has no effect at all. In addition to that, it starts eating my MOUSEWHEEL events and prevents the VStudio from scrolling down the source... :(
After a focus change ( I click into a different window ), I get the scrolling back.

One problem at a time.
If you click into the context or definition fields then focus is placed into this field. You now need to click back into the editor to get focus back there again.
If you click on the down arrow next to the definition field then focus goes to the list that appears.
Clicking into the editor closes the list, but leaves focus in the definition field, this should be fairly obvious since the content should be highlighted. So it will take two mouse clicks to get focus back into the editor.
the keyboard shortcut alt-g offers the same functionality as this pull down list, and may be more useful for you since it does not remove focus from the editor.

I am still trying to work out what your code looks like, and not getting very far. |

It seems like alexG and feline may not be talking about the same thing. I'm not sure what combobox is in question.
alexG: Can you post a screenshot showing what combobox you are talking about? |

| That combo box you selected is from the IDE not VA X. That one provided by the IDE almost never works for me. The VA X one above that works much better IMO. |

VAX does not find the correct method...
