Solved - VS03: Context help has just a few problems

[Lordhp]

Hello,
I have found some problem, I did try search for solution but maybe I'm stupid or nowhere it was written. Uncle google didn;t help

Well, lets face the context help when using variables (like IrrlichtDevice]. In VS, when I write device-> context help appears. It is luxury.

But, when I have separated sources (don't know any bigger program what have not) in some case it does not work. Lets see

I have three files:
head.h
main.cpp
main2.cpp

Header file defines two variables, one in namespace, one global. Both have IrrlichtDevice* datatype.

In main.cpp, when I try use the broken variable (the one in NS) it does not work. Blah. But even the global variable does not work!

In main2.cpp, I try accessing the global variable first, and it works. Woo! Then I try access to NS one, and it works also!

Now, why? How to make this working (the context help). Does anyone encountered this problem ?

Thanks,
Pavel Ptacek

Hmm, i see that there is a limitation about Intellisense.

IntelliSense Limitations
IntelliSense does not work in C++ projects under the following circumstances:

• The cursor is inside a code comment.
• You are writing a string literal.
• A syntax error appears above the cursor.
• IntelliSense is not fully supported under the following circumstances:
• When you reference a header file multiple times using the #include directive, and the meaning of that header file changes due to various macro states (which are defined through the #define directive). In other words, when you include a header file several times whose usage changes under different macro states, IntelliSense will not always work.

I don't know if this is the problem even in VS03, I have upgrade to VS05 today after posting message.
