Intellisense (code completion) in VC++?

Technically, you “could” enabled it, but I wouldn’t recommend doing so. The
reason VC++'s Intellisense won’t list members for SDL’s structures is
because none of them are defined in files that are currently added to your
project, and arn’t part of the c/c++ library. If you really “need” to have
it automagically list members, just add all the SDL*.h files to your
project. (Again… I wouldn’t recomend it).

Hi all,

Is there a way to list the members of an object in VC6 after pressing “.”,
just like in VB? For example,

SDL_Surface* s;

And when I press the “>” in “s->”, is it a way to enable VC6 to list the
members?

If not, is it because the SDL library are already statically compiled?

Thanx!

sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
vc++ is crap.
but i still use it because i’m used to it’s compiler errors :frowning:

Visual Assist is much more reliable than Visual Studios intellisense. And
Well worth the money IMHO…

Then, will Dev C++ do the job? Or other IDEs?

if i ever manage to get rid of vc++ i’d switch to devcpp.
wait - all my projects already run on devcpp… why haven’t i switched
yet? … ah… hmm…
