Hi,
In VC6 the default intellisense list cannot be navigated with Cursor-Up/Down and neither <TAB> nor <ENTER> complete the current selection, even if the tooltip of the completion list says to use <TAB> or <ENTER>.
To reproduce:
1) I created a default MFC MDI app with the VC6 wizard.
I put the cursor into CMainFrame::CMainFrame
I type "GetC" which selects GetCalendarInfo in the intellisense drop down list. A tooltip is shown to the right of the list, showing some info about GetCalendarInfo and telling me to use <TAB> or <ENTER>
I try to navigate down with Cursor-Down but that closes the intellisense drop down and moves the cursor in the source code instead.
2) I type "GetC" and press <ctrl>-<space>. An intellisense drop down list is shown which looks slightly different (I guess the first drop down was from VS and this one is from VAX?). This list show GetCallStack as current selection and does allow Cursor-Up/Down movements.
So there seems some problems with the default VS intellisense drop down list.
This happens only in VC6, not in VC 2008.

I wasn't able to reproduce your problem. Here are my steps:
1. File -> New... -> Projects tab -> MFC AppWizard (exe) -> Typed project name -> OK -> Finish
(Multiple Documents is the default selection)
2. I went into CMainFrame constructor implementation in MainFrm.cpp (ln 42)
3. Typed "GetC", got a list, and I was able to navigate and to accept the list.
4. The same result with GetC <ctrl>-<space>
Am I doing something differently?
If not, can you please send us your Visual Assist settings:
VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings
(You will get a registry file here.)
You can use this form:
http://www.wholetomato.com/support/contact.asp
to send the file. Please include this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up. |

Just uploaded my settings (Case 25483)
I verified this on my desktop computer and cannot reproduce it there either.
Windows 7 build 7057 x64 -> cursor keys works
Windows 7 build 7068 x86 -> cursor keys do not work
I check if I have any differences in the settings. |

Tried with you settings, but still cannot reproduce your problem.
When I typed "GetC" I didn't get GetCalendarInfo.
Where does this function come from?
You can check it by pressing alt+g over it, or by typing into find symbol dialog (alt+shift+s)
Can you please go to:
VA Options -> System Info -> Copy Info
and paste the details (from the clipboard) into this thread. This will give us the basic information about your setup.
Maybe the different include directories causing the difference between your two machines. Not likely but worth to consider. |

I am currently downloading "Windows 7 Beta (x86) - DVD (English)" from MSDN. I don't know which build number that is, I am not seeing the build number obviously listed on the download page. After that I will try and setup a test in VMware. This could take a day or two.
Do you see the same problem if VA is disabled / not loaded?
VC6 is not officially supported by Microsoft under Vista, so I doubt it is supported under Windows 7 either. I had to tell the Vista to run VC6 even though it was not supported, and if you do a web search lots of people cannot even get VC6 to install under Vista. |

GetCalendarInfo comes from WinNls.h from the Platform SDK from 2003 - the last one supported with VC6.
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm
When I disable VAX I need to press Ctrl+Space to open the default VS intellisense list. I can use CursorUp/Down without problems. So it is the VAX drop down list which does not get the CursorUp/Down keys.
With Vista and Win7 you get several warnings during setup of VS6 that some executables have problems on that OS. I ignored them and did not have a single problem to use old VC6 and VB6 projects. You need to start VC6 with "run as admin" on first start as it enters some hklm keys but afterwards you can run it normally. VB6 always has to be started with "run as admin".
The MSDN download of Win7 is an older build. In a few weeks we should see the official RC version. |

Do you have Platform SDK installed on this machine as well? |

I am not seeing any problems with Windows 7 beta, which is reporting its self to be build 7000.
If this problem is specific to certain builds of Windows 7 then there is no point in looking further until the RC is posted. The problem may go away again by then. |
