Build 1530 is always interpruting the (.) Dot operator to the (->) operator. Example
void CMyClass::Function( void ) {
CString text;
text.Format( ... );
}
When I press the (.) I expect the (.) but 1530 puts (->) and I need to hit the backspace to get rid of it.
Anyone else seen this.
VS 6.0
VA X Build 1530.
C++ project.

i cannot reproduce this effect, using VC6 and VA 1530. does this happen in a new default project? i am guessing that something further up the source file is confusing VA.
do you have any other plugin's installed?

| It actually did do the -> on a CString object. |

| if you create a new, unnamed cpp file in the current project and copy / paste this code into it, do you get the same problem? if not then this would seem to suggest it is file, or perhaps project specific. it could even be something in a header file confusing VA. |

I am also getting this (->) operator overwriting the (.). This is driving me insane. I specifically came to support to see if anyone else was having this issue, and what I could do about it.
I have tried a new project and it seems to work fine, but my existing project displays this behavior.
Any ideas?

| Ditto for me also... I don't think the "Boss" will allow for redoing 102 projects in a solution. |

I deleted my ncb file in the project and when I reopened the project the ncb was built to about twice the size of the one I deleted. This seems to have helped out quite a bit. However now I get very little in the way of suggestions.
Doh! |

Wrongway, can you try deleting your ncb file, to see if this helps?
the fact that this is project (more accurately solution) specific would be explained by a corruption problem with the ncb file. my original thinking was that there is something in the main solution that is confusing VA's parser.
cgough try changing your:
VA Options -> Text Editor -> listboxes -> get content from default intellisense
setting to see if that helps. if this is turned off then VA ignores the ncb file, and in fact you can quite happy work with a zero length read only ncb file to stop the IDE from making a new one. |

| I with Wrongway it's back. The (ARROW) -> when it should be a DOT(.) is quite annoying. |

cgough if you are still on VS2003 then you may want to delete your NCB file, and with the IDE closed replace it with a zero length read only NCB file.
so long as you have content from default intellisense turned off this should not cause any problems, other than a warning dialog when loading the project. i always worked like this in VS2003, due to problems with corrupt NCB files.
for some reason VS2003 is quite capable of corrupting its NCB file all on its own *sigh*
if this does not help then how easily can you reproduce this effect? is it project specific? |

| The GetDlgItem() does not change the (.) to (->). I cannot remember if previous versions did this or not. Also, deleting the ncb file seemes to fix the CString (.) going to (->). |
