This is simply brilliant, so I hope you include this feature in build 1562 
Whenever you declare an instance of a class, function or global variable defined in "SomeHeader.h", you want it to be included. Why not automate this?
How about a VAX right-click menu item: "Add necessary include-statements for the current selection"
And/or a keyboard shortcut? E.g. Alt+I
Perhaps an extra option to perform all this silently in the background?
Some things to consider:
1) Multiple header-matches -> pop up a menu with all matching files.
2) Do not include full paths, if not necessary.
3) A.h includes B.h. If A.h is included, B.h is not needed.
4) Put the #include inside file.h instead of file.cpp, if need be. |

We are considering doing something like this:

What about to underline (~~~) symbols which need include file with green. When I right click on an underlined symbol, a refactoring menu item should be occur, something like "Add necessary include file".
This solution has 2 advantage at least:
1. I will know if a symbol needs additional including without the need of compilation.
2. If will work automatically on copy-pasted code. Copying and pasting code to an another file is very common when I refactoring existing code base.
Certainly, this version can work for selections also.
(The red underline (~~~) is already VERY useful in refactoring! )
What do you think? |

I like the idea, but I can also see a pile of edge cases, to do with conditional include statements, that are likely to cause problems. Specifically this relies on VA working out that the #include is not present, which is sometimes rather hard to determine.
We are working on a form of this feature in C# in the 1609 beta. I don't know if you ever use C# or not, but VA will suggest the missing namespace line while typing, and you can accept the suggestion, like any "normal" suggestion listbox to have the using statement added.
Of course this does not help with the copy / paste situation. |

I don't plan to use C#.
If someone do not use conditional include statements he/she can use this feature.
But you are considering doing something like this. (case=226)
Are you tring to resolve this problem also? |

As far as I know we are considering doing this for C++, it is just a little difficult 
I referenced C# as an example of how this might work in C++ |

case=226 is implemented in build 1715
Hover over an unrecognized symbol and choose "Add include xxxx" from the refactoring context menu.
