Hello

Loving the create from usage feature but I can't quite get it to work.

Using 10.5.1738.0 built 2009.10.01

In the header file I have...
#ifndef __TEST_H
#define __TEST_H

typedef struct  
{
     BOOL	plop;
}Test, *pTest;

#endif


In the source file I have...
Test t;

t.newElement = Layout_FindElement();


If I right click newElement and Create From Usage it asks me to create a new member. I click ok but don't get any other options and it whacks it at the bottom of the header file rather than in the structure definition. Like so...


#ifndef __TEST_H
#define __TEST_H

typedef struct  
{
     BOOL	plop;
}Test, *pTest;

#endif

pLayoutItem newElement;


If that could work I'd be the happiest coder!

Just to add.

If I change my header file so it's like...

#ifndef __TEST_H
#define __TEST_H


typedef struct _test Test, *pTest;

struct _test
{
     BOOL	plop;
};

#endif

It's happy and puts the new element in the right place. Up till now I've favoured the lazier way though. :(

More info. If the header is...
typedef struct _test
{
     BOOL     plop;

}Test, *pTest;


And the code is...

Test t;

t.newElement = TRUE;

Then that doesn't work but...
_test t;

t.newElement = TRUE;

does.

I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the clear description.

VA can have problems when the name of a structure is not given at the "start" of the structure, and only at the end, as you have worked out.
