I really like the feature of converting . to -> but in the last few builds it does not always work. I can't remember exactly when it stopped working. One place I can reliably reproduce this is with the CWnd::GetDlgItem function which returns a pointer to a CWnd but the . does not get converted.
The conversion is not reliable with method overloads that return different types. GetDlgItem is overloaded with different returns: CWnd* GetDlgItem(int nID) const; void GetDlgItem(int nID, HWND* phWnd) const;
Change . to -> not always working
