How do I use the [Symbols in Solution] Combobox in VA View?
Whatever I type in there, it finds nothing. Only Symbols from files that are open in a textedtor are found.

That does not sound right. This page describes how to use this feature:
http://www.wholetomato.com/products/features/sis.asp
Do you actually have a solution open in the IDE?
If you look in VA's Open Files in Solution dialog how many files are listed? The title bar lists the number of files.
Can you please go to:
VA Options -> System Info -> Copy Info
and paste the details (from the clipboard) into your reply. This will give us the basic information about your setup. |

The Open Files in Solution dailog schows: "7785 of 7785"
The Find Symbol dialog schows "1580 of 1580". Wich is WAY to less. It semms to me, there are only those symbols listet I used since installation of Visual Assist.
This are the Visual Assist Infos from clipboard:

This is very strange, it is almost as if VA is not parsing the files in your solution.
If you show VA View, then place keyboard focus back into the editor, and now hover the mouse over one of your classes is the correct information displayed?
Can you try this for a class that is not being listed in the FSIW dialog? I am trying to work out if the problem is "just" with the FSIW dialog, or if VA really does not know anything about these missing symbols and types.
Are you seeing a lot of symbols being underlined as mistyped symbols as you edit code?
Is your solution stored on a local drive or some form of network drive? Is S: a local drive or some form of network drive? |

Yes, when I open a file in the text editor, then hover over it, the information is shown in VA View. As soon as I open a file in the editor it is found by VA View's [Files in Solution] as well. And it seems to stay there then. When I close the editor, then the IDE, the symbols are still found by VA View after reopening the IDE.
I have no underlined symbols. All the fancy Syntax-Coloring is in place.
I don't know if it is of any relevance, but sometimes, when I open a file it is first displayed without Syntax-Cloring. After one, two seconds the View is updated with Syntax-Coloring. In this cases this is also true for the Functions Dropdown-List above the Text-Editor. First black, after one second it becomes colorized. Function after function.
S: is a local Solid State Drive. The Solution and all it's Source-Files are on a "normal" local Harddisk. |

| Is "Parse all files when opening a project" enabled (check VAssistX | Options | Performance) ? |

No, it's disabled because it takes ages.
I only klick on "Rebuild" from time to time. |

Symbols in Solution will only list symbols that VA has identified through parsing. If it doesn't parse the files when the project is opened, it only parses the files that you open (or that are included by the files that you open).
"Parse all files when opening a project" doesn't force a parse every time the projects are opened - it does caching and that significantly reduces subsequent opens.
"Rebuild" clears the cache.
