i've just upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows XP, but I'm having trouble with a feature in MS VC++ 6. There appears to be no parameter info or member lists available for functions and types declared outside my workspace. for example:
Code:
RECT rc;
rc. //no member list appears when the dot is typed.
and:
Code:
CreateWindow( //no parameter list appears when the bracket is typed.
but:
Code:
class cls1
{
public:
int variable;
);
cls1 object;
object. //member list appears, because the class was declared within the workspace.
I'm hoping there is a simple explanation for this behavior; parameter info and member lists are quite handy. does anyone know what the problem is?
