I have a MFC project.
A CWnd class has a PostMessage function.
Now assume the code
CWnd *pWnd = nullptr;
...
pWnd->pm /
Typeing this the pmthe suggestions is PostMessageW. Why The function is internally declared as PostMessage. Yes there is a define for PostMessage to PostMessageW.
I don't want to see the W.
Is there a setting?
If I write code in the _T-Notation I can use PostMessage in an Unicode and non-Unicode project.
Regards

Apologies for the slow reply.
Using VS2019 and VA 2491.0 I am sitting inside a simple MFC application, and I have added this simple test code, and this is the listbox I am seeing:
This is with:
VA Options -> Enhanced Listboxes -> Source of C/C++ content: Visual Assist |

Do you have:
VA Options -> Floating Buttons and Icons -> Denote content from Visual Assist with tomato icons
On or Off?
I have just checked VS2022, and I am getting different icons when I mouse hover over the listbox, for the filter bar at the bottom of the listbox, so I am wondering if you are seeing an IDE listbox, rather than a VA listbox. That might help to explain the different listbox content we are getting. |

Do you get the same problem in a new, default MFC solution?
If so, would you be able to send me a copy of that solution, along with your VA and IDE settings?
VA Options -> Performance -> Export Settings
IDE tools menu -> Import and Export Settings -> Export selected environment settings
The solution is helpful since I am wondering if the SDK version you are targeting is a factor. Something has to be going on here, since this seems like a really simple test, yet we are seeing different things.
Please send me the files via email:
[email protected]
including this thread ID or URL in the description, so we can match it up. |

I get this in every project. Even non MFC projects.
Strange inside a CWnd class typing pm it gives me PostMessage as a suggestion.
Using this->pm gives me PostMessageW as a suggestion. 
You got mail.

I have the settings, thank you for these. The problem starts happening when I import your IDE settings, so something in there is a factor. After importing your VA settings, I set:
VA Options -> Enhanced Listboxes -> Source of C/C++ content: Visual Assist
and this fixed the problem for me. Can you try this and see how it works for you? |

| Excellent news, thank you for the update. I am curious as to which IDE option is the trigger here, but not curious enough to actually "diff" the options between two systems trying to find it. I know from experience how long that can take, there are a LOT of options to check |

MFC CWnd object pWnd->pm suggests PostMessageW
