Hi all,

By disabling VS2005 intellisense (renaming feacp.dll) I've crippled the Add Class wizard, especially the ATL->ATL Simple Object wizard.

ATL detection relays on determining the type of a global variable, if fecacp.dll is not present the variable list count is 0 and the function fails ("c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\\VC\\VCWizards\\1033\\common.js" IsATLProject function).

Please mark this in VA's FAQ (http://docs.wholetomato.com?W133)

Regards,
Cristi.

A good point, I have updated the FAQ with a warning about this.

Also you may want to note that for Win32/MFC projects the Resource View will not work with intellisense disabled.

Using VS2005 I have created a new, default win32 application, and renamed the "feacp.dll" file to disable default intellisense.

Both the resource view and class view are working for me. To be more precise they are showing me content, I can get to the string table via the resource view and jump to functions via the class view.

Personally I never use the IDE class view, and hardly use the resource view, so perhaps I am missing something obvious here, but disabling intellisense does not seem to have caused any problems.

I expect disabling the IDE's intellisense to break some things, class view included, but not the resource view.

Err, I forgot to mention it only happens if you go the route of making a zero-length NCB file. That's at least the method I noticed when it stopped working.

I am seeing the same effect with the zero length NCB file. It looks like renaming the dll is the better approach, although it is also more wide ranging.
