Hello, I was trying the trial of VAX, and I recently patched it to the latest release build, and when I was working on setting up includes for a project of mine that I just started, I got this issue in the screenshot below.



It appears as if it wanted to use a false value instead of a header file for some reason. This happened multiple times in my session working with VS.

When you typed the #include <> line did a listbox showing file names appear after the angle brackets were inserted?

This might happen if VA does not realise you want a list of header files.

yes it did, I remember typing in the osg folder myself, and then the list came up, i pressed f, and it wanted me to do false rather than various includes with the letter F at the beginning.

*edit
I figured something out, it only seems to happen if i type f, it will bring up the list, if i hit backspace, and hit f again, it then wants me to do false.

*2nd edit
Apparently it happens no matter what the letter i hit is, furthermore, it appears as if when you are typing the #include, if you exit out of the autocomplete window while doing that, and then you try to re-enter autocomplete, it brings up a ton of different options, but none of them are the #include autocompetes.

This does not sound right. 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.

If you place the caret into one of these file names in these #include statements does VA show you the correct file name and file path in the context and definition fields, normally at the top of the editor window.

I am wondering if VA is having problems with the directory "osg" for some reason. If so this might explain why this is happening.

Once you have dismissed the listbox how are you trying to recreate it? Are you pressing CTRL-SPACE or are you using some other method?

Thanks. I'm able to repro. Three things are key to repro:
must be using <>
backspace (or escape) to dismiss the listbox
must have \\ immediately to the left of where you start typing after closing the list

When this happens, press escape, and then Ctrl+space to get the file list back.
