Intellisense (tm)

[JohnZed at aol.com]

Yeah, I already have a little start on the intellisense thing, but things 
might get busy for me later on this summer, so I can pass of all the fun to 
you then.  I like the mention of borland's int x = whatever()-> only showing 
int functions.  Even better is the idea of collecting the best ideas from all 
the IDEs we know.
Well, I like one function thing in Visual C++ (that would go in the popup 
menu on the class tree if anybody else were interested):  Insert Virtual 
Function automatically looks up all the virtual methods in base classes.  It 
gives you a list of those, and you choose one to override.  No more screwing 
up the order of parameters in some distant member class.  Some sort of visual 
support for CONNECT would also be cool.  I'm not entirely sure how it would 
work, but basically something that lets you choose a signal from one 
appropriate list and a slot from another, only showing ones that are 
type-appropriate.  I think that if it were fast and well done, that could be 
a cool way to extend the signal-slot concept, which is already a very 
visual/physical way of visualizing code.
Just thoughts.
