I have several .h files that I like to reference fairly often. However, int he Ctrl-Alt-S box, I can't seem to see function declarations and types from the headers, even if I uncheck the box that says to only show symbols from the workspace. It would be nice to be able to see these.

I cannot comment on this without some more details.

which IDE and version of VA are you using?
How does the IDE or VA know about these headers? Are they included in your solution? Are they in a stable include directory? Are they even known to the IDE and VA?

Is this everything you need? The headers are in the stable includes in VA. I'm trying to use function definitions from a file named "os.h" in C:\\RVL_SDK\\include\\revolution. However, even the default Win32 ones aren't showing up (I can't even find IsDialogMessage in the box)

VA_X.dll file version 10.3.1541.0 built 2006.11.20
VAOpsWin.dll version 1.3.3.8
VATE.dll version 1.0.5.0
DevEnv.exe version 8.0.50727.363
msenv.dll version 8.0.50727.363

Comctl32.dll version 6.0.2900.2982
Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2

Stable Includes:
C:\\msdev2005\\VC\\include;
C:\\msdev2005\\VC\\atlmfc\\include;

Something odd is going on here. Using VS2005 and VA 1543 with a C++ test project, simply opening OFIW it shows 396 symbols.

If I turn off "show symbols in current workspace" and filter the list on "isdialogmessage" I get 7 of 115,974

This is with:

Platform: Custom
Stable Includes:
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\include;
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\atlmfc\\include;
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\PlatformSDK\\include;
C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\SDK\\v2.0\\include;
C:\\boost\\boost_1_33_1;

Are these numbers even close to the numbers you are seeing?
