intelli-sense sometimes works and sometimes doesn't

Question

visual studio 2012, c++
when for example in main and i want to type the line long x=2;
when i start typing lo  it finds long but does not highlight it so
that after for example typing lo crt it will output lo on the line

it is annoying and i don't see any way to tell it to make its best guess
at what i am typing.

sometimes it does work for example in a class i have created it will
do the member function correctly.

however in the enums that i create it again lacks foresight!
i have downloaded SQL CE but when i did so it said that it
was already there.

is this still a problem for c++ 2012??

Answer 1

Annoying, indeed, C++ ... scnr.

See Troubleshooting IntelliSense in C++ Projects. But this is at least the wrong forum..

Hi dej122842,

For Transact-SQL IntelliSense feature, go to Edit -> IntelliSense -> Refresh Local Cache. See this link: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/dtjones/archive/2008/09/11/refreshing-the-intellisense-cache.aspx
