Intellisense in Immediate/Command window??

[Stephen Corey]

Why doesn't the Intellisense feature work in the Immediate/Command
window in VC++ .NET 2003? In VB.NET 2003, it works fine. For example,
typing:

?this.

in VB.NET would bring up the intellisense window showing all the
members. If I type this in VC++ .NET:


?this->


I get nothing. It doesn't matter if I'm in Immediate mode, or Command
mode. I've just checked out the VC++ 2005 beta 1(not the express) and
it's still the same.

I think this is an invaluable feature missing from VC++, and should be
added.

It is on the list of important features to add if we get to do the next
major re-architecture of our tool chain. Right now it is impossible to
add at reasonable cost.
