I'm using VC++ version 6 and have for some time. I recently had to reinstall my OS (XP SP2) because it got broke. Of course I also had to reinstall VC++. Since I've reinstalled it when I type the name of an instance of an MFC class and then type the period that preceeds the member name the list of member names no longer pops up. For example I have CString cs_x; when I type "cs_x." the list of members should show up but it doesn't. If I type an instance of one of my classes everything works fine. How do I fix this for MFC classes, it's a big pain not having it work.

Thanks
 
First, update your VStudio with service packs - 5th or 6th is the latest I think.
Second, it happens sometimes. Try rebooting VStudio, try rebooting your computer, try deleting CLW (class wizard) file and recreating it. VStudio even with SP5 has bugs, but sometimes such actions help to recover the needed functionallity. On the other hand, I never searched technical notes on these kind of problems, so you could try that..
