I''m a big fan of the stuff in VC++6 to give you the members of structs/classes as you type - very useful. However some of my classes don''t work with this, but only when used in certain parts of my code. Is there a set way to ensure it works preoperly? I used to have it recognising the D3D functions too which was REALLY handy but it doesn''t anymore, same problem I guess. Does it have something to do with where you put the #include directives? Mine are all in sdtafx.h if it matters. This isn''t a serious problem just frustrating that such a useful feature doesn''t always work! Read about my game, project #1 NEW (13th August): A new screenshot is up, plus diaries for week #3 John 3:16

If the IDE can resolve what type of class, object, or what function you''re calling, it should display the AutoComplete and extra information. You have to be careful that you typed everything correctly, otherwise it won''t recognise your class, function, etc.

This is the problem that it doesn''t always. I can type d3d. in one place and it works, elsewhere (sometimes in the same file) it doesn''t. If I right-click, and try doing it that way it sometimes works even when autocomplete decides not to show. I''d love to know how to make it work for d3d again (and d3dx would be nice too)
Is it better in VC++.NET (or is it only me that finds it odd?)
