CComboBox function list missing

I have created a CComboBox object in a dialog. In the dialog class I have added a control variable that the Class Wizard recognizes as a combo box. However, when I attempt to peform a function on the combo box using the dot operator, VisualStudio acts like it doesn't know what a CComboBox is. Namely, when I type the name of the control followed by the dot operator, I should get a popup list of all the CComboBox member functions. Instead, I get nothing. If I type another object, such as a CEditBox, followed by the dot operator, I get the function list. Am I missing a library or something?
 
This happens in Visual C++ 6.0 sometimes. Close your application's workspace and delete the following files from my application's directory to correct the problem. You probably only need to delete one of the files, however I do not recall which one.

*.aps, *.ncb, *.pld, *.opt, *.clw

where * will be your application's name.

When you open the workspace, Visual C++ will reconstruct these files and the problem should be gone.

I don't know why Visual C++ "forgets" the class member list. Does anyone else know the cause of this?
 
bill, this shows the visual studio files that can be deleted according to this guy.
