directx and vc++ code completion
Author
back when I used Delphi for my directx-isms, we had this nifty feature called code completion, *and* it worked properly with COM interfaces.
now that i''ve moved to vc++6, i have noticed taht sometimes code completion works, and sometimes it doesnt. in particular, it doesnt work with any directx com interfaces except the first version of each.
am i doing something wrong, or does everyone have to keep their sdk docs open while they work so they can find out the parameter lists?
any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Although I''m not sure about DX9, the way I did it in 8 was to make a project with all the DirectX headers and add it to my workspace whenever I needed it. I use VC.NET now which seems to work better though.

ok. sounds like a good thing. i will have to try it.
why do the original interfaces (ones that came packaged with vc++) work and the new ones not? does vc++ have some kind of weird hooking system to work out what files to look up for the code completion?

Nothing that complex - it just seems that the IntelliSense feature in MSVC 6 often/always ignores the user configured search order specified in Tools->Options->Directories.
A common alternative to including the relevent headers in your project if you really want IntelliSense to work all of the time (and some other stuff) is to use VisualAssist from Whole Tomato.
