It's turning into Tips Day...

  • Firstly an old one, which my previous post reminded me of: setting the registry value HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\CompletionChar to 9, say, enables completion of file names at the command prompt, using the TAB key in this example.

  • Visual C++.NET (even in unmanaged code) has a non-standard __super keyword (or super with the appropriate #pragma), which searches immediate base classes for matching functions. Even better, IntelliSense recognises it and deals with it appropriately. [Courtesy of Raymond Chen, though I must admit to being disappointed that it wasn't a VC++6 feature that I'd somehow missed, what with it being Raymond's blog that referenced it :) ]
