I had a question about the editor for visualStudio. Basically, I am following along with a course for C++ and at this point, we are defining a function in a staticLib. We then proceed to call the function in the staticLib file of which the editor reminds that the include statement has not yet been declared.
I have attached screenshots for this as follows:
Notice that his microsoft visualstudio suggests that he make the #include "../StaticLib/foo.h"
Where mine is as follows:
And I do not really get any suggestions no matter what I type. Would someone mind helping me out with this as I am relatively new to visual studio community 2015 but I find that this is really helpful as I am a java programmer who used other IDE before and such suggestions just happen automatically for me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated !
Thank you
Visual Studio by default does not have this functionality. It will be available after installing commercial ReSharper plugin:

I am a beginner learning Visual Studio 2019 Community. Specifically MFC C++.
It is challenging as I am struggling to find good reference material and examples. Youtube has been very helpful for tutorials and examples. However, all the information I have found are using earlier versions of Visual Studio which are not a step by step process. I have found myself doing additional research or experimenting to find the same tool used in the example.
My current issue is the example creates a new class with the base class type of "CFormView". However no such value exists in my version of Visual Studio.
With that being said. I have two questions.
Please advise on how to create a CformView class in VS.
Is there any good quick learning guides for MFC in VS 2019? It would be great to have tutorials.
Thank you in advance.
VS2017 and VS2019 have become difficult development environments to continue program development with MFC/ATL.
If you want Wizard-guided development as you've seen in previous books and resources, the best shortcut is to go back to VS2015 and port the results to VS2017 or VS2019.
I have similar answers to similar questions several times.
For example, see these answers and their links.

Is there a help integration package that can make wxWidgets documentation available through F1 help in Visual Studio 2017?
To be specific, if I were to click on a wxWindow class in Visual Studio 2017's editor, it would be great if the wxWindow Class Reference page would just pop up.
I found some data online on integrating the wxWidgets help data into VS 2008, but as I recall the help subsystem has had an overhaul since then, and I don't want to do a bunch of download/install/grinding only to find that the result doesn't go into VS 2017.
Thanks in advance for knowledge you have on this.
Ok, this question is incredibly basic and I'm probably missing something blatantly obvious. But I just downloaded Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8 because I'm relearning C++. And I cannot, for the life of me, find how to create a basic C++ project. Nothing special. Just a blank C++ project containing files with the .cpp extension. In VS, I go to File>New Project>Installed>Templates>Visual C++. All that's in there is xaml related or other far more complicated stuff than what I want to deal with (e.g. Direct3D App).
Thanks in advance.
You should find something similar to:
If you downloaded Visual Studio Express 2012, make sure you obtained the correct version (Windows, Web, Phone, etc.).
I have already created a simple source code analyses tool for C/C++, but I wanted it to be an extension or tool for Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 editions. It is written completely in C++. For this reason I created it using "Create an Add-in using Visual C++/ATL" option. And then under "Choose Add-in Options", I have some problems. I don't know which one or ones to select. I want it to have a name and icon under Tools section, but on the other hand, my code analyzer can be used from command line too. If someone can advice me which option(s) to select there I would be glad.
My second question is this, when I have opened a source file in Visual Studio, and if I go to Tools -> MyAddin, and press it, I want it to do its job and analyze the code, and show the results in the output section below.
And my last question is that, if I have a C/C++ project with few files let's say, and if I right-click one of the files, I want to see my add-in and be able to execute the add-in from there, not to go always to Tools -> MyAddin. And also the same thing to work if I right-click the project, then it should analyze the all files and show the problems in the output section.
Please note that I have already created the source code analyzer tool in C++, and I have it as a DLL. I can also use it in Linux from terminal, and if I want I can also create a GUI for it, which I plan to do later. But I'm not that much experienced with Visual Studio, especially about add-ins, that's why I need your help. As you can see my first question is a kind of advice, but I think my second and third questions require some source code. I know that it is very hard for you to give me some help without seeing my code, but if you would help me somehow I would be glad.
For Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 you should consider using Extensions, not Add-Ins. It is a new technology introduced in Visual Studio 2010. Extensions come in form of a VSIX packages and are automatically installed in all applicable versions of Visual Studio. If you are not targeting Visual Studio version prior to 2010, I strongly recommend using extensions.
From this point of view, I will not answer any of your technical questions about Add-Ins. Here are a couple of links to start using extensions instead:

I think you will find valuable information on this topic here: Developing extension packages for Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010/2012 using C# with real-life samples
So, I started programming in C++ moving from Java, Eclipse IDE. I use VS 2010 proffessional, I have it for free from DreamSpark.
However, I am very unhappy with its Intellisense, beeing far far worse than Eclipse (its C++ version) has. But almost everywhere on the internet I read that VS has great, superior Intellisense for native C++. So I want to ask, is there any way, some settings to change to make VS intellisense behave simmiliar to Eclipse? Or is there any other functionality in VS intellisense that compensate that?
To be exact, Eclipse intellisense does much better job guessing what object I want to create, suggests includes, generate keywords, generate few common for cycles etc...
I would not even as this question, but I found somuch possitive feedback on native C++ VS 2010 intellisense, so I have feeling I am doing something wrong... Thanks.
If you are writing managed C++ (C++/CLI) there is a post explaining that intellisense is not currently implemented here
