C++ Intellisense Not Working

.NET
1

Hello guys,
I’m just getting started with C++ and I’m having a little trouble with intellisense.
I’ve created an empty project and added a few variables to the only existing cpp file that I created.

When I’m slowly typing out the name of the variable I expected it to show up like in visual basic .NET but it doesn’t seem to be.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a setting somewhere I need to adjust?
Or have I just started up a blank project which by default doesn’t include files that are needed to enable intellisense?

Kind regards
Steve

I’ve just discovered that intellisense is working for me to the extent that if I use:


string word = "hello";

word.length()

A drop down will come up when I type in the period after the variable, which is nice, but it didn’t apply intellisense when I was typing in “word”.

Also, it didn’t automatically put in the parenthesis for me, so when it failed to compile, it took me a little while to figure out why.

Is what I’ve described normal, or is there a way to improve it?
