Is there a way to make IntelliSense give me a list of methods when I use the -> operator on a smart pointer (a boost shared pointer for example)?

It should do this normally. If it doesn't, clear the intellisense cache. If it still doesn't, the class may be unparsable from its perspective (for boost's pointers it should work fine, however).

It does depend on your version of MSVC. Recent versions will do it more or less automatically. If you're using MSVC 6 I believe you are out of luck unless you get Visual Assist.
