My VC++6 Editor Does not Pop Win Api as it used Too

[code]
GentleMen,

I Am Using Vc++6 As Compiler And Its IDE
When Ever One Writes "MessageBox(" Rest Of The Function
Parameters Are Shown by The Editor By It Self
A Sort Of Pop-up Pops To show Every Win Api Function or A Struct
You Must Be Samiliar With That.And That Is What Makes Using It
Interesting.But Now After Formatting My COmputer And RE-instaling The
Visual studio.I Have Stoped Getting These Popup`s Without which
It Is Making Difficult to Programm Even When One Right Clicks On the
Editor Screen There Is a Option Of COmplete Word which Shows All
The Fuctions of Winapi In That Only the Functions And Structs
That I have Madein My programm Are Being Shown And
WinApi Seems To Have Been Ignored AllToghether.What Might Be The Reson
And Remedy.Want SOulution At The earilest. as this problem Is Taking Me Back To Stone Age When Primitive People Developed C in dos And One Had
To remember Ever thing And Refer To .h Files for Details.

Thankyou
[/code]

  • everybody has that same problem

    >>as this problem Is Taking Me Back To Stone Age When Primitive People Developed C in dos And One Had To remember Ever thing

    and that is a bad thing how??? IntellSense just makes lazy programmers.

    Nah...Primitive programming with C doesnt have a nice IDE like
    MSVC++.

    ...Did you download the platform SDK?
    ...Reinstall MSVC++6?

    I recommend getting MSVC++ 8 Express..Its free, just as good as
    (or beter) then MSVC++6, includes debugger, and supports Win32.
    It even supports a project converter to easily convert MSVC++6
    projects into MSVC++8 projects ...a very useful feature.
    I even linked it to use assembly with NASM for my OS.[/blue]

    GentleMen,
    Thanks To You Both
    Thou None Of You solved the Problem yet
    One Called Me Lazy and other
    Called For Re-installation.
    Thankyou
    I am About to Download VC8++ and then i am going to
    ask you how did you link NaSM to that??

    MSVC++8 should fix the problem.

    You can use MSVC++8 with just about any language.
    In linking via NASM, include the asm file in the project.
    You have to create a custom build step so MSVC++8 knows
    what to do with the file.

    For me, I set the command line build step to execute nasm
    to produce an MSVC++8 compatable obj file. In the "build
    step output" directory, point it to the obj file. This lets
    MSVC++8 know the build step produces an obj file to link,
    so MSVC++ automatically links it with the project.

    Good luck,

    Vc++ 8 Needs Me tO Download Sp2 For Windowsxp
    Which Will Take Me 38 Hours DOwnloading
    I dont Want That
    I have Tried All the Editor Options
    Of VC++6 But Intellisense For Winapi`s is not working
    and it works in Win32 Console Applications
    One More Thing.All Thou Directory For The include Files Is
    Menitioned In Directories Tab Of Settings FOr The Project
    And Vc++6 As a Whole But Still When I want TO Check The Defination
    Of Any Winapi Say MSG There Pops Up a Dialog Box Asking The
    Source File For The Said Winapi Which i do Tell And Then It Opens
    The Concerned .h File.

    Please Do put Your Heads Toghether SOmebody FOr this
    Problem Of Not Having Intellisense
    Intellisense is only working for the structs and functions that i am
    Making And not for winapis
    Without Intellisense It is no Fun Programming and also not Intelligent too :-).

    Go to the [b]tools->Options[/b] and the options box is displayed.
    On the left plane, expand [b]Text Editor[/b] and then [b]C/C++[/b].
    Under [b]General[/b] Insure that the [b]Auto list members[/b] and
    [b]Parameter Information[/b] are checked.

    Under [b]Formatting[/b], Insure both items under [b]C/C++ Options[/b]
    are enabled.

    Let us know the results.

    --Does it work for ANSI C++ code?
    --Does it work (Or just Not work) with Win32 API?

    People have been coding for over 30 years without IntellSense. If you want to learning the language, then don't use it because it just makes good coders lazy. If you can't program without IntellSense then you are not a coder -- just go and play video games or something.

    Agreed (Sort of). IntellSense only works sometimes for me. While I *do* prefer it, it doesnt stop development--just use documentation or *.h files if needed.

    Only thing I dont like about MSVC++ Express is that I have to build *twice* to test my demo once nearly everytime:

    -The first build to compile my code and watch my linker generate a manefest error (Go Microsoft)--Happens nearly all the time.

    -The second build to finish the linking stage.

    *cough* It works nicely on Borland Turbo. Even for obscure Windows API functions. http://www.turboexplorer.com/
    Download is 500MB something though.
