I am using MSVS C++ Express 2008. Right now my intellisense only works for objects that have methods or arguments in a method. Is it possible to set it where it detects declared constants and varibles that are within scope. Thanks
A:
It should work when you hover over a constant, or any variable for that matter. It should show you the definition. I'm not sure if there are any feature differences between the Express and "real" versions, but I don't believe so.
Some things to try:
- Do a rebuild of the solution.
- Restart VS.
- There is a file in your solution root directory with an ".ncb" extension. Delete it and restart VS. This forces VS to rebuild the Intellisense database.
Intellisense is notoriously flakey...
I am working from a empty project. I only have 1 source file. which contains the main method. I dont know the proper term. but when I mean intellisense, I mean as in it auto detects variables and I can select it and it write out the rest of the word.

Try `<Ctrl> + <Space>`.

That works. What about doing it automatically ??
