When you hover over a function, you get a nice tooltip with the function definition and its arguments. There is no way to get this information for a C++ constructor.
Currently, when you hover over an object where it is declared, you just get a tooltip with the declaration. This is not very useful, since you are already looking at that declaration. It would be nicer if the tooltip listed the available constructors and their arguments. |

I see what you mean, but when this symbol is used elsewhere you are more likely to want to see the declaration when you hover the mouse over it.
Are you aware that the parameter info tooltip works for constructors? If you place the caret inside the brackets and press CTRL-SHIFT-SPACE you will see a tooltip listing the constructors parameters, and any overloaded constructors.
Alternatively if you show VA View, then place keyboard focus back into the editor, and now hover the mouse over the variable the class members will be displayed, including all of the constructors. |

| Pressing Ctrl-Shift-Space seems like a lot of work for something that could be much easier with a mouse over. Also, it does not work reliably with all constructors that I tried. For some it works, for others it doesn't. |

Apologies for the slow reply.
Showing this information on mouse hover makes sense, I have put in a feature request for this:
case=77026
Are you able to reproduce the problem with Ctrl-Alt-Space not showing you parameter information on demand? Would you be able to post a short code sample that shows this problem? This should work reliably. |
