Popup list of member vars/functions gone

[JillyT]

Just out of the blue (in other words, what did I do), I no longer have the popup list of member variables/functions as I'm typing a class object. Let's say I have:

CMyCustomClass stuff;

as I'm typing: stuff.

as soon as I type the . that popup list of all available functions for my CMyCustomClass class no longer pops up. I notice it still pops up for Standard C++ classes but not for my own any more. Is there something I've done wrong or some setting that should be checked? Thanks very much!

errors in the code will cause that. Also some syntax seems to just break it without errors, like certain use of templates etc.

If there are no compile errors in the code sometimes you can fix it by closing the workspace , deleting the xxx.ncb file and re-opening the workspace.

Thanks for the suggestion. Nope, no compile errors. And deleting the .ncb file didn't seem to work for my particular problem but maybe it'll help out someone with a similar problem...any idea as to what the technical name of that popup list is to help me with an internet search?

It's called "intellisence".
And I've got the same problem you have for a couple of weeks now with a project group that, to my knowledge, isn't even thát big (5 projects). I just can't seem to get back my intellisence (and it has even gotten so far that I don't get any tooltips when using API functions etc.).

It's really bugging me to every time view the MSDN when I'm about to use one of the APIs to see which is the order of the parameters etc. So please, if you find a solution, post it here?

>> I just can't seem to get back my intellisence

That's a tagline if ever i heard one!

Rick, are you using an templates (STL or custom)?

Well all of them are ATL, so full of templates....

And the most irritating of all is, that I also cannot use the ATL object wizard anymore to insert new objects in some of the projects. It generates an error saying something wend wrong.
