Help with Microsoft Visual C++

Michelin · Post by **Michelin** » Wed Oct 22, 2003 11:42 pm

Hi,

First I setup my IDE (Microsoft Visual C++) as described at the tutorial.

Then I build the HelloWorld example from irrlich and it did run (no errors, no warnings: really cool).

It works very well, but I just can't use the "complete word" or the "list members"

. It works with all except with the irrlich stuff (classes, methods, etc.), and I hate when I write a "." or "->" and the methods list doesn't appear.

Please help me.

Thanx

Close VC++ and then delete any *.ncb file that you have for your project. These are the pre-built intellisense files and will rebuild themselves the next time you run VC++.

This is also the thing to do when you upgrade Irrlicht or other API versions that may have new, removed, or updated interfaces.

In addition to what saigumi said, it might help to right click the
#include <irrlicht.h> part and go "open document", then let it parse.

Thanx saigumi and t for replying so fast.

I did what you told me to do, but it still doesn't work

. I also tryed at work and at a friends PC.
The steps are:
1) unzip the Irrlicht SDK 0.4 to c:\irrlicht
2) add "C:\IRRLICHT\INCLUDE" to the include directories in Visual Studio
3) add "C:\IRRLICHT\LIB\VISUALSTUDIO" to the library directories

Did I forgot something?
After that I build any of the examples (deleting first all .ncb files)
No errors, no warnings, all ok.
I also tryed opening the irrlich.h file with the"open document" feature over the #include.
The examples run ok. But I still can't use the "complete word" or the "list members" feature.

Again, I really appreciate your help, thanx a lot.

you could try visual assist (http://www.wholetomato.com/)
it isn't free though.

You must clic "add project" in the menu,
and add irrlicht.dsp (or irrlicht.dsw)

you have now 2 project:
-irrlicht
-your project

right clic your projet and "set as active"
that all.

My solution worked for me using visual assist. I think it's great and easily worth the price. There is a free trial on the site.
