Re: "class awareness" in MSVC 6.0
I think all the files you wanted in there had to be in the project, but it's
been a while since I used 6.0. You might want to try dropping the .h files
on the solution window somewhere as external files.

Hi, I'm one of those cantankerous people who for various reasons is
still using MSVC 6.0
The "class awareness" features are great (e.g. the "ClassView" window,
and the combo-box that pops up when you type a symbol name followed by
:: or . or -> and shows you what the class's members are, or the
toolhelp that pops up to tell you what the function declaration is).
When I use the classes I've defined in my project, I can use these
features. (although sometimes it fails & I can't figure out why, maybe
there's something in one of my files that screws it up) When I use
built-in classes like _bstr_t or CComBSTR, then I can use these
features.
But when I #import or #include a .dll/.tlb/.h file defined elsewhere, I
don't get the "class awareness" features for these classes.
What settings make MSVC aware of _bstr_t and other classes defined in
external .h files?
