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

    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:

    1. Do a rebuild of the solution.
    2. Restart VS.
    3. 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…
