    Annoying Problem

    Hey Guys

    Just a quicky, i just reinstalled windows and with it Visual Studio and opened up an existing project. I now can't get the little yellow popups to come up when i type a function in like AfxMessageBox( I tried deleting the.dsw file to reconstruct the project but no luck.

    Any ideas would be great

    np, open up visual studio, goto tools/options, on the first tab entitled "Editor", go down to the option group that is labeled "Statement Completion Options" and check all 4 checkboxes and click ok... there now u have the help back

    Cheers for that but it doesn't seem to work

    all the boxes where checked so i unchecked them applied and then rechecked them but no luck. I might just reinstall Visual Studio.

    Then right-click on an identifier and ask for the definition. It may ask about making browse information, say Yes. When it's recompiled you should have your popups back.
