When I turn on syntax coloring in listboxes (great feature!) everything is colored as I set, except the non-inherited member functions.
They're bold and black! (colored well in the code editor)
Maybe only a mistype in code? :)

VS2005, Unmanaged C++
>Is it the case that ALL bold are black?
No. All non-inherited class member functions.
So the inherited functions are colored well.
The non-inherited variables are colored well.
Etc...
Summary: bold functions are black.

i can get something similar to happen here. hunting up and down the list some member functions are black, even if they are not bold. so far this only seems to be effecting member functions.
how similar is this to your experience?
how common is this problem for you? all of the time? just occasionally?
are you seeing any bold items that are not black? what about member variables? |

Yes, only member functions are black. And for me only non-inherited (bold) functions. Others are colored well. (Variables, classes, enums, etc.)
It is happening always, but I have tested in a very few case.
So, maybe you're right and all member function color can be buggy sometimes.

i see this some of the time, but not that often. if you are seeing every time then you have a more stable effect than me, which should be helpful, if i can make it go wrong all the time for me.
do you have:
VA Options -> Text Editor -> listboxes -> get content from default intellisense
turned on or off?
do you see this colouring effect in multiple projects? |

get content from default intellisense is turned OFF
I am working in one project currently, but what can be different from your settings is that I am using custom Variables Color, Preprocessor macros Color and Methods Color in "Fonts and Colors", under the "Enhance Syntax Coloring" checkbox.
Custom means I invoked the color dialog by right clicking at a white custom-color box.

changing the colours should not matter. do you have time to try creating a default project, and do a quick test to see if you see the same problem there?
i have never been able to make this happen on demand, but i know it can happen, since it happens to me occasionally. if this is consistent for you then it would be useful if we could work out why. |

I found a class when the coloring is OK. So, as you sad, this isn't happening allways...
But it is enough if we can present a class where the error can be reproduced, isn't it?  |

if you have a test project, or even a small piece of sample code that makes this go wrong on demand then that would be ideal 
so far i get it myself, but so far i have not found any pattern to this effect. i need to pin down a reliable test case before putting in a bug report, otherwise the developers will have nothing to study. plus if i cannot make it go wrong on demand, how can i tell if it has been fixed? |

OK, I can easily reproduce the problem.
VS2005, VAX 1530.
The steps are:
1. Create a new Win32 Project.
2. Go to the end of the file and type this:
class cTest {
void MyFunction();
int MyVariable;
};
3. Type this to the begining of WinMain function:
cTest test;
test.
...and when you press the dot, the completion listbox appears:
MyFunction
MyVariable
Here "MyFunction" is Bold and Black, but I have defined functions to be brown.

*sigh*
i have just tried this, and this is what i see:
the orange is the correct colour, since this is the colour i have functions set to.
i placed the class at the bottom of the main header file. i called the test project "win32_black" so the class is at the bottom of "win32_black.h"
if you restart your IDE is the function still black? is this always black if you use CTRL-SPACE to produce the list box more than once? |

I placed the class definition into the main.cpp file.

got it! thank you
it took a certain amount of fiddling, but i can now reproduce this effect on demand. for me once i restart the IDE the problem goes away, and the function is back to being coloured correctly, but by commenting out and then uncommenting the code after the IDE restart i can make it happen again.

1530: Syntax coloring in listboxes
