Visual C++: ShapeBase not in ClassView tree
by Keith Johnston · in Technical Issues · 11/06/2002 (1:13 pm) · 11 replies
I am compiling the Torque demo with Visual Studio just fine - however, the ShapeBase class does not show up in the ClassView. I've tried deleting the .ncb and .opt files in the vc6 directory but still no luck.
Not really a critical problem, but kind of annoying. Anyone else see this? All the other classes I've looked for in the tree I've found.

There's a 3rd party plugin called 'Visual Assist' that goes a long way toward fixing Intellisense.

Personally I uninstalled VA shortly after installing it. More annoyance than benefit. As for VS, as long as my auto complete, mouse over info, and go to declaration/definition works I'm happy.

edit:

so does the Player class and ShapeBase show up in the class list with that plugin?

That cut&paste trick worked. Thanks - at least I know I'm not missing a VC++ patch.

Hmmm Looks like Visual Assist may be one of those things I'll wonder how I lived without.

if you want a much better system check out Source Insight. It's so much better at viewing information that it's not even funny.

VisualAssist is a Visual Studio plugin with some features that compliment Visual Studio. That's all... It works INSIDE Visual Studio, explicitly... it isn't mandatory to like the features it gives... though, I do.
SourceInsight is a separate source browser/source editor. It really doesn't look all that great to me... replacing Visual Studio as your C++ editor under Windows is dubious at best... though, maybe it's other features make it worth the $250... I doubt I will find out :)
Regardless, if source browsing is desired... I have used Doxygen for wading thru large unfamiliar territory. It's quite good and quite free. It also has graphing, charting, etc. Very slick. www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen
There are a number of systems like SourceInsight around.. however, I won't plug them as I haven't used them...

I usually delete my class wizard file and regenerate it from ALL of the source files when some go missing in class wizard. i just delete the .clw file then reopen the workspace and open class wizard and select to regenerate the file from all the source. It has worked for me.

that is the culprit ..
a Visual Studio bug if you ask me...
many of the class's dont show up due to this
cut that enum and repaste it watch it show up in classview as soon as its cut. ... and disappear when resaved
