Duh…
I had of course added SDL.h, but it didn’t work until I added all of the .h
files to the project.
The function insight still doesn’t work, but beggars can’t be choosers I
guess.

It’s only seventy bucks.Our visual studio cost almost 20 times that. If it
does what it says it does, I think that’s a pretty reasonable price. And

Not using something commercially is a reason for stealing? When you can’t

There is the counter-argument that if he can’t afford it, he won’t buy
it so the people who wrote it make no money off him - just the same as
if he’d copied it.
But this is off-topic, and besides, everyone should just use Emacs
(or vi… but Emacs has some fun features lacking in vi).On Thu, Mar 07, 2002 at 11:39:07PM +0100, Dimitri wrote:

Daniel,
I’ve been using VC6 and was never able to get AutoComplete, etc to work with
any non-MS header files. Since I switched to VC7 it works… so maybe its
just something MS only implemented partially in VC6.
However, if you know what SDL function you want to use, type it in, right
click the function name, click “Get definition of…” will pop open a window
for sdl*.h and go to the appropriate line.> ----- Original Message -----

I’ve written my own headers for various DLLs I’ve written, and the
autocomplete thing works in those.
You need to #include the header (obviously!), but I think you also need
to add it to the project (so it shows under the ‘files’ tab on the tree
thing).
Occasionally it breaks, and nothing shows, and VC++6 seems to sometimes
decide to remove everything from the tree views, or even eat your
project files. Two days ago it switched my keyboard from UK to US -
while I was typing.
VC++6 is one of the (very) few good things MS ever produced…On Thu, Mar 07, 2002 at 11:31:26PM -0500, Anthony T. wrote:

Thanks, didn’t know I had to add the headers to the project. Now VC7 does it
without adding the headers to the project. Sicne I haven’t gone exclusively
