Code completion in MSVC

Well i want the code completion for irrlicht, you know when you write a function and the possible parameters show up.
How do you do that in MSVC++ 6.0 ?

I use Visual Assist X http://www.wholetomato.com/

I haven't used VC6 in a long time, I can't remember if it has code completion built in or not. If it does, all you should have to do is add the irrlicht project to your solution.

You should not need Visual Assist. From my experience with VA, it is a huge memory hog on top of all that visual studio uses.

A memory hog that's worth the mem, then.

VA is much, much better than IntelliSense ever was. It makes work with MSVC much more efficient. It is faster than intellisense and doesn't err or fail as much as IS does and provides more features and better highlighting and code navigation and and and..
If it wasn't this damn expensive..

so, there is no built in code ompletion in MSVC? you gotta use some kind of plugin or something like that?
If it's true, then maybe i'll gotta have the API opened U_U

I'm pretty sure that Intellisense was a VC6 feature. Intellisense includes code completion. I know that it is a feature of VC7 and it is working fine for me with Irrlicht.
