PRB: IntelliSense Ignores Unicode/ANSI Versions of Win32 API

ID: Q190976

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 6.0

SYMPTOMS

Parameter Info and Type Info are not generated for the Unicode or ANSI versions of the Win32 API. These functions can usually be formed by adding "A" or "W" onto a standard Win32 API function.

RESOLUTION

Use the generic version of each function. For information on using UNICODE, see the REFERENCES section.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
