I'm having an issue with Direct3D parsing where the tooltip doesn't highlight the proper parameter:

Any ideas? I've reparsed symbols multiple times with no luck.

I see the problem, the screen shot is very clear, thank you for that.

Assume I know nothing about Direct3D, what header file do I need to include?
What class do I need an instance of?

Am I going to need to install a DirectX SDK to get access to the header file to test this?

You need to include d3d9.h. Here's a bit of code to replicate the parsing issue:


#include <d3d9.h>

int main()
{
  IDirect3DDevice9* pDevice;

  // And then try typing out any one of the following
  //  and you'll see the problem tooltip:
  pDevice->Clear(
  pDevice->CreateVertexBuffer(
  pDevice->CreateVertexShader(
  // etc.

  return 0;
}


I can send you the latest DirectX9 header files if you need them (otherwise, I think the entire SDK is ~450MB).

I have the DirectX SDK somewhere, but if you could just send me the single header file I need for the test that would be most useful, thank you. It saves me installing the SDK somewhere just to find the single file I need.

Please send me the files via the form:

including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up.

I have the files, thank you for these. The problem is happening because parameter highlighting is getting confused with the STDMETHOD macro:

case=3727

Yikes! That's a pretty old case number. :( Are there any workarounds you can think of? Is this an issue that will be tough to fix?

I have increased the priority on this bug report for you, hopefully that will help.

I don't know of any work arounds, but you could try editing VA's "StdAfx.h" file as explained in this FAQ entry:

http://docs.wholetomato.com?W302

and add the entry:

#define STDMETHOD(x) x

at the bottom. This file is used to help VA's parser with difficult code, and can be used to work around odd effects. After modifying this file you need to rebuild the VA symbol database for the changes to take effect:

VA Options -> Performance -> General -> Rebuild symbol databases

I honestly do not know if this will help or not, but it might.
