Sporadic IntelliSense Performance in Visual Studio

[roger43]

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 to develop a C++ program on a MacBook Pro with Windows XP Professional installed on Boot Camp. I have defined a structure with three floats and one int. IntelliSense can always find the instanced structure name, but it cannot always find the structure variables. Typically IntelliSense will identify two to four structure variable names and then return the message "No additional information available" (see "Troubleshooting Intellisense in C++ Projects' for further help). I've tried everything suggested for fixing the problem and nothing has worked. When I close the solution and reopen it, Intellisense will again work for two to four name insertions and stop working again. I tried situations with the struct defined in the file where its elements are being accessed and in a header file included in the file where the elements are accessed. Both gave the same results.

 

Is this problem because I don't know what I'm doing, because Visual Studio 2005 has a problem, or because there's some problem using Visual Studio 2005 on a MacBook Pro with Windows XP Professional installed on Boot Camp?

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks
