When using a class or struct with VC, a dropdown list will appear when you go to access a member. For example, PSOMEOBJECT-> will trigger an auto-complete list of all SOMEOBJECT''s members. I find this feature very useful, but it does not work with the classes of the gamelib i use (CDX). Can somone instruct a hopeless newb? thanks.

you have to add the .h files to your project

The headers are included in my project as "External Dependencies" and of course in #include statements in the actual code. The headers are found in the include path of the compiler.

This feature works for directdraw, which is inlcuded with only the #include ddraw.h and a link to ddraw.lib. Yet it does not work when I #include cdx.h and link to cdx.lib. Why not?

Add it as a project to your workspace. Should work then. I''ve found that the auto-select doesn''t work for files that have been identified as external dependencies.
