Dear U++ authors and fellow users,

I'm a noob to U++, I've only been playing with it today, on a Win64 host with mingw.

After some initial difficulties, during the afternoon I've been running U++ in two versions side by side: the 2018.1 release (=rev. 11873) and a recent nightly rev. 12567 (did not check out the src from SVN, as the built-in checkout tool didn't seem to work). I created two folders called upp_RevNr under C:\Program Files\. To be sure, for problem reproduction, I've erased my earlier attempts and started over from scratch = unpacked the two distribution 7z archives into empty directories and clicked my way through the "new package" creation in either version.

See the attached two screenshots.

In either version of TheIDE, I have created a new GUI project, from the template called "CtrlLib application with main window". And I'm trying "assist" within the main window class (any method, e.g. the constructor will do), starting with this->, trying to get a list of all the relevant members (variables and methods).

In the 12567 nightly, "assist" = the hinting/autocompletion engine, appears to miss some parent classes in the hierarchy, as a result of which the "autocompletion hints list" is pretty short in 12567. In 2018.1 release, the hints list is like two pages long, and contains e.g. the method Title(), used to set the main window title bar text. In 12567, the method Title() does not get listed among the hints. But, if I use the method in code, the program does compile+link and the Title() method clearly works.

I've tried comparing the config of Assist within TheIDE in both U++ versions and it is the same...

Any ideas are welcome. If this is a noob question, I am neither surprised nor offended Smile

I sure am amazed at how complex and powerful U++ is. It's a revelation to me.
