designer intelli-sense

[mhoover]

When I change the name of a widget in designer, only the old name shows up in the intellisense, but it will compile if I try to put in the new name.

Any tips?

You mean the MSVC intellisense?

some times in VS, it needs to recompile its intelli-sense database(.ncb) file. takes little time refresh. If you are not getting the new one. close the solution file, delete the .ncb of that project and re-open the solution again then you will find the changes you made.

In other words, intellisense is crap.

Agreed. At work I use Visual Assist - much better replacement, but it is expensive at $250. It used to be much cheaper - about $100 I think. If your a hobbyist, it's better to use QtCreator.
