When refactoring, eclipse displays a window where you can check what
will be changed. You can select files/classes that are going to be
modified in a tree, and the changes are displayed using the difference
viewer.

By the way, for a java app, eclipse is pretty fast when it comes to
code completion and on-the-fly parsing, and has implemented a lot of
useful refactoring operations, so it might be a worthwhile source of
inspiration, especialy as it's open-source, unlike visual assist -
even tough it's java and not C++.
