I'm wondering what's gone wrong in my VS2013 installation. In previous installations, if I typed something like:
"my_class_instance."
or
"Foo ("
or
"MyClass::"
then I would be immediately presented with a listbox of suggestions, or parameter information on typing the "." or "(" or "::", but in VS2013 I get nothing.
The other features of Visual Assist appear to work okay, including go to definition, so I'm not sure why these aren't working. |

My first thought is that this is a settings problem. Do you have:
VA Options -> Listboxes -> Get content from default Intellisense
turned On or Off?
Can you also check:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> General -> Auto list Members
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Advanced -> Disable Database
Normally we would recommend:
Get content from default Intellisense = On
Auto list Members = On
Disable Database = False
but if you turn off the IDE intellisense, you should also turn off "Get content from default Intellisense". |

Thank you.
I'm still using VA's intellisense at the moment, with the IDE's intellisense turned off. If I get more issues, I may try reverting back to the IDE's intellisense, if that's what you recommend nowadays.
I've turned on "Auto list members" in the IDE, so I'll see whether that makes some difference.
Yesterday, I did get some parameter information, but it was sporadic. |

For VS2010 and above we generally recommend starting with the IDE intellisense, since it has improved over the years, but you always have the option of using our Intellisense for listboxes if you find it more accurate and useful.
If you are only getting parameter information some of the time, can you look and see if there is any pattern here? Is it working in some files, and failing in other files? Working on some classes or functions and failing on others?
Or does it work on a given function call sometimes and fail on the same function another time? |

'.' and '(' doesn't bring up a selection list
