When I type the name of an object, dot, and select a function to autocomplete, VAX/IDE then puts my cursor in between the parentesis like so:
myObject.DoThis(_)
so that I may type in any required parameters. However, I have been having to then delete them and re-type the left one to get Intellisense to show me the parameters. Is there a better way?

First the answer, use the keyboard shortcut CTRL-SHIFT-SPACE, this should trigger the parameter info tooltip for you.
Secondly there is a problem here, since the tooltip should appear automatically. I have just typed the following simple test using VS2005 and VA 1626. When I accepted the function name "append" the caret was placed between the brackets and the parameter info tooltip appeared automatically.
static void testGeneralCode()
{
std::string strName;
strName.append(|)
}
Which IDE and version of VA are you using?
It is possible you have turned off an option to automatically show these tooltips. |

I see the same problem. The tooltip does not display when I type a method. I always have to use Ctrl-Shift-Space to get the tooltip. I'm using C#. I just reset my IDE settings last night so I should have the default settings in VS (devenv.exe /resetsettings)
VS 2008
VA 1626

It turns out this is a problem in C#. It works correctly in C++:
case=11767
Turning off:
VA Options -> Advanced -> Correction -> insert () and closing } ) ] ' "
so that you have to manually type the opening bracket helps, since typing the opening bracket triggers the parameter info tooltip. Unfortunately you then have to type the closing bracket manually, so I am not sure this really helps.
Typing and deleting a comma helps in my tests, since this triggers the parameter info tooltip. |

Ok, thanks for the comma trick and case number. =)
I am using VS2008, C# (for this project), and VAX 1626.
