Alright, ever since last night the Visual C++ 6.0 compiler that is installed on my computer hasn''t been working properly. You know that really good feature that shows the parameyer information for functions, and class methods whenever you use a class accessor (eg: lpdd->CreateSurface())? Well, for some strange reason, it is no longer working! I went into the options menu, and the correct boxes were checked, but yet it still does not show then function parameters or class objects like it used to. Can anyone help? There are three types of people in the world; those who can count, and those who can't.

VC++ is sort of picky about that stuff. For instance if you make an error in a line and continue to code, "IntelliSence" will stop working. Another common reason is the directory setup. If your not set up as "USE NO DEFAULT LIBS" and don''t have your directX directory set up propperly it will not show the function parameters. And I''ve found that if the .h files are not in the default vc directories or included localy then intellisence with DX won''t work correctly.

Yeah.. Sometimes, if it''s working and then stops, you can get it to work by doing this:

(1) Close VC++
(2) Go to your project directory and kill *.APS and *.NCB
(3) Run VC++ and load your project; VC++ will rebuild the files

That''s an amazing little feature, isn''t it? I remember when we upgraded to 6.0 here at work, and most of the guys were REALLY bothered by it and turned it off immediately. Now, I can''t live without it. If I hit -> or . or ( and don''t see a pop-up list or tooltip, I have an absolute cow and spend at least 10 minutes trying to fix whatever problem there is.

*sigh*

grep, we hardly knew ye.

(hey, that''s a pretty cool tagline. I might keep that one)

win32mfc, you''re great! I couldn''t find any .aps files in the directory, BUT I did in fact find the .ncb file! I deleted it, and now the IntelliSense thing works perfectly! Thanks man!!
