Does intellisense work for VC++ in VS.NET 2003 or what??????

[0to60]

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to work most when
declaring variables, and hitting "::" between namespaces. But when I hit
"->" I get the message "Intellisense: no additional information available"
in the status bar, sometimes. Other times it works. What the hell is that
all about? C# and VB's intellisense works just fine, and has since VS 4.0
150 years ago.

Yep - you're not seeing anything out of the ordinary in that respect -
sadly

In addition to what you've observed, my latest twist is that Intellisense
now crashes VS.NET 2003. I have a series of template functions, and even if
I just hover the mouse over the name of the function anywhere in a source
file, the IDE hangs and I have to kill the process. Pretty cool! Actually,
the funnest part was the time I spent tracking it down to just the mouse
movement -- it's really not something I would have expected to be causing
the repeated crashes and loss of edits! But I confirmed the same behavior
by moving the cursor to the function name and selecting
Edit|Intellisense|Quick Info.

All in all, I was and still am somewhat impressed with VC7.1, but am deeply
disappointed with the poor quality control and lack of attention to the
bugs.

Hi everybody...
I just got the same problem!!!
And just got fixed here...
In my case(also .net 7.1, C++) i have a pointer named sorter of class
ISort.
as i put the -> the same message appears but there was something
different when i put my mouse over the var... the help text appearing
was "int min"... i was so confused about this.

I have a var "int min" in another place in the code, and it was making
conflict with another min somewhere in the includes...
Just renamed "min" to "minimum" and problem solved ;-)
