Hi Naba, I was'nt actually expected the creator of Anjuta to write back ... really nice to hear from you. I know this is'nt the right place to discuss this but well I basically wanted to know the general opinion about kdevelop/Anjuta and both missing this feature so i posted here ...

You do not need to refresh it again explicitly. No, it was'nt working when i tried. I had to right click the symbol list and select refresh from there. > I am interested in how you did that.

Yes, I am basically refreshing every time I press Enter and it is not perfect but as I said I was just trying to see why it was'nt possible. I know my solution is really bad and I have since recompiled the *original* Anjuta code with the normal symbol list and am using that only and not my modified one. > > > That's the catch 'Proper implemenation'.

So that means that this feature won't be easy to implement as long as tagmanger does'nt do it. This is one feature in MSVC which i like :(. I am currently searching the list archives for older discussions on the matter (sourceforge search facilities suck !!) Btw, Anjuta is great and I am still using it. regards Sharninder _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
