Yes, a simple type-cast. Wouldn't it be nice if you could enter this:
LPPOINT p = LPPOINT)
That is, skip the first parenthesis and then enter a closing ')'... and then VAX automatically adds the opening '('. I can't think of another scenario than a type-cast here.
You might suggest the "Select the word and enter '('"-feature, but I really hate that. It gives me more problems than it is useful.
VA Options -> Advanced -> Correction -> insert () and closing } ) ] ' "
turned on? If so you only need to type a single bracket, but the opening bracket rather than the closing bracket.
What happens when you are casting the parameter to a function call? What happens when your type contains a space, e.g. long long or int *? It is not always clear where to place the opening bracket, and especially not if you are in the middle of a total re-write of the current line.
