It would be great if when you hover a cursor over a resource defined as a string the VA IntelliSense locate the string from the resource and display an actual string. What do you think?

Which IDE and version of VA are you using?

The string value is being shown for me in both VS2005 and VS2008 with VA 1827.

It is 1823 for VS2005. Has the enhancement to display string values been added recently?

The reason I've created the post here is I could not find any reference to this feature in your release notes.

This is how the string is initialised in the string table:

This has been working for some years. Can you try turning on:

VA Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Enable automatic Quick Info ToolTips

and see if this makes any difference?

Hi guys,

Sorry for reviving an old topic. I thought I'd put it here. The "VA Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Enable automatic Quick Info ToolTips" option is not working in VS 2010 for Resource Strings. Is it a known bug?

Unfortunately this is a know bug, and it is a VS2010 specific problem. We are looking into this, but I don't currently have an estimate for when it will be fixed:
