tooltip by hovering variable, code, #define in CCsv4

Do you mean like in this capture?

yes,

It should just do it automatically assuming the following:

• The source file you are working in is part of a project.
• it can find the file in which you have the #define
• and assuming that the source scanner is not turned off

For the example in the screen capture I did not do anything special I just opened a project that had the source file in it and when I have that source file open in the editor the tooltip works.

Rachid,

If you right click on the project in the Project View.  Select properties.  Then in the dialog that opens up select "C/C++ Indexer" in the list in the left.  Then on the right hand side select: "Full C/C++ Indexer..."

John

Thank you,

yes the Indexer is on but it dosn´t work (hovering about code)

Can you send the code where you have your #define?  Are there conditional statements around it that could be causing a problem with the source indexer?

John

Hi John,

thanks for the Help. I will attach one of Header File (rename to .h). If you need a complete code we have to do this with emails.

Ok what I can see is that with this file the hover tooltip works fine within the .h file but it does not work in a C file that includes it and uses some of the definitions.  Does that match what you are seeing or do you not see it working within the .h file either?

John

Hi John,

yes it´s right. in the .h the hovering is workin butnot in .cf files using this defines.

thanks for the Help

Hi,

has there been any improvement/solution? I'm working with version 4.2.3.00004 and am experiencing the same issue. Hovering PopUps work fine inside the file but not outside when the file is included (even though indexer is on full and works properly -> ctrl leftclick jumps me inside the header file).

Best Regards

I'm having the same issue and I am using Code Composer version: 4.2.3.00004

I have the Full C/C++ indexer on and I'm not getting information in tooltips.

The tooltip hovering issue is addressed in CCSv5.1. This is still pre-production release but if you'd like to give this version a try, downloads are available here.
