Hello,
VA (build 1555) doesnt show me multiple constructors in the structure (intellisense). I have to turn "Advanced/Listboxes/Get content from default Intellisense" to see all constructors (but then MSVC shows me listbox from VA and listbox from MSVC).

my structure:

struct MY_STRUCT {
int m_a;
char *m_b;
MY_STRUCT( int a ) : m_a( a ) { };
MY_STRUCT( char *b ) : m_b( b ) { };
};

When I type: "MY_STRUCT(" I'd like to see both constructors to choose which one I'd like to use.

thanks,
-pk

using VS2005 and VA 1559 I changed the code a little, ending up with this code in a header file:

struct MY_STRUCT {
	int m_a;
	char *m_b;
public:
	MY_STRUCT( int a ) : m_a( a ) { };
	MY_STRUCT( char *b ) : m_b( b ) { };
};

and this code in the matching cpp file:

static void testStructConstructors()
{
	MY_STRUCT foo(1);
}

with this code, when I typed the '(' in the cpp file, or place my caret between the brackets and press CTRL-SHIFT-SPACE to see the parameter info tooltip both overloads are listed for me.

Which IDE are you using?
If you upgrade to VA 1559 does this help?

thanks for reply.
I've installed the latest VA (build 1559) and in VS.NET 2005 I've typed your modified code. Again, when I typed the "(" VA showed me only the one (latest) constructor:

I had to turn on "Advanced/Listboxes/Get content from default Intellisense" to see both constructors.
