[br]Hi,

In some of our code, we have some generated data that is included in the source code as a massive predefined array:
[code]
const unsigned char kIncludedData[48000] =
{
    0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08, 0x09, 0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C, 0x0D, 0x0E, 0x0F, 
    0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08, 0x09, 0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C, 0x0D, 0x0E, 0x0F,
    ...
    0x00, 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08, 0x09, 0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C, 0x0D, 0x0E, 0x0F
};
[/code]
If we accidentally click on a reference to the symbol [code]kIncludedData[/code] in our code somewhere, the automatic preview starts being generated (opening a tool-tip style pop up next to the cursor).  I'm not sure if this is part of Visual Assist or Intellisense.  This appears to parse the array and display its contents.  The problem is that this takes ages (up to a minute) during which Visual Studio is unresponsive.

Is there a way to fix this?

Kind regards,
Charles

cblessing	Posted - Sep 02 2016 : 04:20:09 AM Hi ChrisG, Thank you for the suggestion - yes that works. It seems a shame to disable it for everything just to fix this one situation though. Kind regards, Charles
ChrisG	Posted - Sep 01 2016 : 7:39:19 PM Hi cblessing, I think Visual Studio is generating the preview (on mouse hover) you describe. You can disable the tooltip (called 'quick info') by navigating to the following menu. (Tools \| Options \| Text Editor \| C/C++ \| Advanced) Then, set 'Auto Quick Info' to False. Please tell me if that helps your issue.
