overriding virtual member function of a generic class using wizard

in VS6 C++, "add member function wizard" was simple.

but in VS2005 C++, it is no longer possible to copy and paste a function declaration into the "add member function wizard". (must add each parameters one by one....)

for MFC classes, the property window provides a simple way to override a virtual member function, but that interface seems not working for generic classes.

is there an easy way to override a virtual member function of a generic class (like somehow enable the MFC class' virtual function override interface for generic class)

or I have to edit .h and .cpp manually

thanks.

I have to confess that I am using the tool VA-X from www.wholetomato.com. It has extended autocomplete features that AFAIR help me in this case too.

Open the class view. Right click on the class. Choose Add function. And you can easily add a new virtual function.

kkang, the Wizard was intended for an audience that needed guidance through creating MFC and ATL applications. It was not designed for mass-producing code. It may be true that an earlier version served your specific scenario better, but in general the Wizard functionality (which is already complex in implementation) has taken a backseat to more productive approaches, such as the .NET framework and intellisense.

int that way, you MUST "add" each parameters one-by-one...---very easy to make a mistake and create a whole new function, instaed of a override of a virtual function.

VS6 allowed pasting a whole declaration at once(except the return value), so it was much faster.

I am looking for a faster way..
