Intellisense and tooltips question - Info please? :)

[Jim]

I've posted this a couple of times, no luck so far. Any
info would be greatly appreciated. The tooltips are very
useful, but this oddity is very annoying, particularly
because I'm visually handicapped and it's very visually
distracting) when a tooltip ends up taking up the entire
screen...

Using Intellisense, when I type a function name and the
opening parenthesis, I get a tooltip that identifies the
return type and arguments of the function. The argument
list that is displayed in the tooltip line wraps and auto-
indents to line up with the opening parenthesis of the
function prototype. My problem is that if I have a return
type that is particularly long or verbose, and a function
name that is particularly long or verbose, then the
tooltip ends up taking up the whole screen, because all of
the function arguments wrap over many lines, but are only
a few columns wide.

Is there some way to either prototype the functions
differently, or possibly something that I can put in
the XML tags before the functions that will cause their
Intellisense tooltips to line-wrap differently? This is
obviously a WONDERFUL feature and a real life-saver for
coding, but the full-screen tooltips do make the UI kind
of cumersome. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

JIM

Looks like you still aren't having any luck. I've seen this issue once or
twice myself, but that's about it. Sorry you can't seem to get any help, but
I don't have any suggestions either.
