In a code window I type sprintf( and see a tooltip telling me int sprintf( char *, const char *,...)

now if the tooltip said int sprintf( char *buffer, const char *format [, argument] ... ); it would be fundamentally more useful to me to know which argument is the buffer and which is the format string, without having to deduce that from the argtype. And the new MSDN browser doesn't goto the topic without doing an explicit search. VC5 you could highlight sprintf and hit F1 and get right there to the function help.

Ignore the comment about the member function it's working today, it didn't on Friday. Today typing:

cTest cString;
cTest.

At this point I get a list of members, after selecting one I get the arglist. that didn't happen the other day.

I certainly wish we had this in VFP and that it was extensible to include our own class members.

>Hmmm. I think you're talking about the tooltip-like capability, that shows the type of _any_ identifier when you hover the cursor over it. That should kill Hungarian notation dead! :)
