Is it possible?

If a particular function overrides a parent class'es virtual function, could this function be marked in some way? Bold, italix, anthing.

It would be freaking awesome. .Net has the override keyword, which is a great idea, but we gotta use C++. Qt designer does it as well, but who wants to leave VS?

Are your overriding functions marked with "virtual" when you declare them in the class?

If they are marked as virtual, then VA will show this in the function tooltip in the Hovering Class Browser:

this won't pick out the virtual functions for you, but it will allow you to easily see which functions of a given class are marked virtual. This should also be listed in the tooltip when selecting an item in a member listbox, when calling class functions in your code.

Not as easy as you are hoping for, but is this a useful starting point?
