Currently using VAX 1649.

Consider this:
void foo(string &a, string &b);
void foo(int x, int y, int z);
When I type the following VAX shows "[1 of 2] foo(string &a, string &b)":
int myInt = 0;
foo(myInt,
When I insert a comma, VAX should select the second tooltip since the type of myInt is int:
"[2 of 2] foo(int x, int y, int z)"

VA does not currently distinguishes overloaded functions from each other.
On the other hand you may want to select the overload first (you are dealing with) before you start typing. And if you do this and VA changes the selection on its own (for any reason) one may get annoyed.

Disagree. If you provide a CString as first parameter, you made an explicit choice not to use the signatures that do not match. Of course, if you undo that operation (e.g. Ctrl+Z or backspace), then the previously selected item should be set again.

I have put in a feature request to see what our developers make of this:

case=45080

some of the time we should be able to work out which overload you are calling, but there are going to be a lot of edge cases where it is not so clear.

I would love to see this implemented...

I can imagine the [1 of 16] reducing to [1 of 8] as I type, reducing the number of matching overloads, etc.

Yes, it cannot be certain - there will be ambiguity, but some items can be ruled out, which reduces the number of possible overrides you need to flip through, and in some cases, only one will be left, making the tip that much more useful that much more often :)

A very interesting idea, I have put a note onto the case about this. Thank you for the thought.
