Problem with right-click items in Symbols tb

[Wanderer]

SlickEdit 12.0.3, WinXP

I have this declaration in base.h:

Code: [Select]

class base
{
public:
    base();
    virtual ~base();
};

I right-click on 'base', select "Show base in symbol browser"

I right-click on 'base', select "Add member function".  I type "bool bingo(int x)", and check "Virtual".
Click "OK", select base.cpp file for the implementation, and find that my class def has been farkled:

Code: [Select]

class base
{
public:
    virtual bool bingo(int x);
    virtual ~base();
 };

Note that the constructor has been replaced by the new member function. 

I have a derived class in base.h:

Code: [Select]

class derivedOne : public base
{
    public:
        derivedOne();
        virtual ~derivedOne();
};

Right-click on 'derivedOne', select "Show derivedOne in Symbol Browser".
Right-click on 'derivedOne', select "Override virtual function", select 'bingo', select base.cpp file for implementation.

base.h:

Code: [Select]

class derivedOne : public base
{
derivedOne();
virtual ~derivedOne();
   
};
public:
virtual bool bingo(int x);

Note the location of the override's declaration, and the removal of 'public' from above the constructor.

What's going on?  These would be really cool features if I could count on them to work correctly...

Thanks for a detailed description for the issue, it is much appreciated.  Using a fresh 12.0.3 vanilla install (Windows XP, CUA emulation, no hotfixes), I was not able reproduce the problem you describe.  What emulation are you using and what sort of options are you using in the File Extension setup, in particular, the formating/beautifier options and indenting options?

What emulation are you using and what sort of options are you using in the File Extension setup, in particular, the formating/beautifier options and indenting options?

-- Latest hotfix (24)
-- Vim emulation

Formatting:
  -- indent with tabs; tabs: +4, syntax indent: 4
  -- Use SmartPaste.  Use Syntax expansion.

  --  C/C++ Formatting Options
    -- Begin/end style
      -- "style 1" braces
      -- Insert braces immediately; Insert function start brace on new line
    -- Indentation
      -- Indent first level of code; Use continuation indent on function parameters; Indent member
access specifier
   
Hope this helps. 

-------------------------------------------------------
I changed emulation to CUA, and the features worked much better.
I removed all member functions (except ctor/dtor), added the "virtual int bingo(int x)" to base, and overrode it in derived.

base.h:

Code: [Select]

class base
{
public:
virtual int bingo(int x);
base();
virtual ~base();
};



class derivedOne : public base
{
public:
virtual int bingo(int x);
derivedOne();
virtual ~derivedOne();
};

base.cpp:

Code: [Select]

int base::bingo(int x) {

}

int derivedOne::bingo(int x)
{

}
Note the difference in opening brace...

Thanks for the additional info.  Yeah, something is not right due to emulation, and that is definitely an issue that needs to be addressed.  I'll dig in and see if I can spot anything now that I can repro it.  I'll see if a hotfix can be generated.  I also wouldn't be surprised if there were also issues with indention and formatting, but let me try to address the more destructive part of this problem first.

Any progress on this?  I would be using it several times a week if it worked, it would be a real time-saver.

Yes, there is a hotfix available.  I'm including just the files needed in the attachment that should the issue when in VIM emulation.  Please download the file and apply the hotfix  using Help > Product Updates > Load Hotfix... from the menu.  Let me know if you come across any further issues.

Thank you very much -- this is a great feature.  A minor issue on formatting...
My derived class:

Code: [Select]

class Der1 : public Base
{
public:
Der1() {}
virtual ~Der1() {}

public:

protected:
virtual void Spike(int v);
};
After inserting overridden public and protected functions:

Code: [Select]

class Der1 : public Base
{
public:
virtual void Shout(int jj);
Der1() {}

virtual ~Der1() {}

public:

protected:
virtual void Goober();
virtual void Spike(int v);
};

I'll add that one to the bug tracker, I'd say it's not taking into account the additional the additional indent on the access specifier.
