I can't seem to get parameter info to display at all.
After typing ClassName instance( , nothing pops up.
- I have the feacp.dll file renamed to disable Intellisense - I have "Auto List Members" and "Parameter Info" unchecked in Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> All Languages - I have "Get content from default Intellisense" unchecked in Visual Assist X Options -> Advanced -> Listboxes - I have everything checked in Visual Assist X Options -> Advanced -> Suggestions
There doesn't seem to be an "Auto parameter info" option in the Visual Assist X Options anymore as described here (in "Options in Microsoft Visual C/C++" section): http://www.wholetomato.com/products/features/parameter.asp
System info:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
VA_X.dll file version 10.6.1842.0 built 2011.02.03 DevEnv.exe version 9.0.30729.1 Professional msenv.dll version 9.0.30729.1 Font: Consolas 15(Pixels) Comctl32.dll version 6.0.2900.6028 Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 2 processors (x86)

I was able to reproduce the problem, however I am wondering whether you are seeing the same problem.
class testclass
{
testclass(int param) {}
void test()
{
testclass obj()
}
};
If I press ctrl+shift+space (the combination for the param. info tooltip) inside the parens in "test" member, I get nothing. However, if I close it with ; like
...
testclass obj();
...
then I got correct result inside the same parens. I don't see this problem with methods. Are you seeing the same effect on your side? |

I am seeing the same effect.
Also, after the parameter info pops up with the first parameter bolded and I supply the first argument, the next parameter does not become bold. I have to manually press ctrl+shift+space again for the current parameter to bold. |

Thank you for the confirmation. The assigned number for this case is
case=32921
However I wasn't able to reproduce your second problem. If I replace the constructor with 2 parameters, like
testclass(int param, int param2) {}
then I press ctrl+shift+space inside the parens of the initialization, and type "1, " then I get the tooltip and the second parameter is bolded:
1. testclass obj(|); // ctrl+shift+space 2. testclass obj(1, |); // the second parameter is bold
Do you get different results with these steps as well? |

I did get different results.
I've attached a screenshot showing right after I've typed "1, ".
A second pressing of ctrl+shift+space does bold the second parameter.

Did some more test, but still no luck. Can you please export your Visual Studio and Visual Assist settings, so I can import them here to see if it makes any difference?
VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings
You can send them via this form: http://www.wholetomato.com/support/contact.asp
Please include the URL of this topic in the description field so we can match it up.
Also, can you please create a new win32 test project to see if you experience the same problem there as well? I am wondering what may cause this effect for you... |

I got the files, thank you. Now, I am seeing the same effect here:
case=4399
The culprit is the following IDE option:
Tools -> Options... -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> General -> Parameter information
This option must be turned on despite intellisense is turned off. This shouldn't be this way, though. |
