Intellisense - Fxn Tooltips

Jim
Using Intellisense, when you type a function name and the
opening parenthesis, you get a tooltip that identifies the
return type and arguments of the function. The argument
list that is displayed in the tooltip line wraps and auto-
indents to line up with the opening parenthesis of the
function prototype. My problem is that if I have a erturn
type that is particularly long ro verbose, and a function
name that is particularly long or verbose, the tooltip
ends up taking up the whole screen, because all the
function arguments wrap over many lines, but are only a
few columns wide. Is there some to either prototype the
functions differently, or possibly something I can put in
the XML tags before the functions that will cause their
Intellisense tooltips to line-wrap differently? This is
obviously a WONDERFUL feature and a real life-saver for
coding, but the full-screen tooltips do make the UI kind
of cumersome. Any info would be greatly appreciated! :-)

Regards,

JIM

When a struct is created in C# and a parameterized constructor defined, the IntelliSense editor shows only the syntax for the parameterized constructor in tooltips, but not for the default constructor which appears to still exist. If this is not designed behavior, is it a bug or am I misusing my struct? If it is by design, could you please explain? I realize the behavior of a struct, as regards constructors, is different from that of...

Hi, Within my project, I've got a number of classes in separate files. When I point at the name of a class in the file in which it is defined, it shows the <summary> information for the class in a tooltip. But when I point at the name of a class in some other file (still in the same project), it just shows "class " and the name of the class. I looked into generating an XML file, but it produced a bunch of errors because I don't have...

Hi! I know there's some way of using .Net's <Attributes> in my own code to set method descriptions etc. that will be shown in Intellisense while programming - or at least after compiling into a dll for example. I've searched the net, but all I keep finding that somehow comes close is showing property descriptions in the designer-window. And I guess that what I need now goes something like that, but I can't really put the pieces...

I'm having problems with intellisense, autocomplete, etc. suddenly not working in certain classes of a project I'm working on. All the options are set, and it all works fine for most classes, but for some it just suddenly stopped working. After a build it'll work maybe once or twice, then stop. I've tried repairing my installation of Visual Studio 2003 but that didn't help. Is Microsoft working on a fix for this, or is there something...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
