Cannot copy Visual C++ items within the same project?

Cannot copy Visual C++ items within the same project when "Show All Files' is turned off...

Does anyone know what this means

I tried doing a ctrl+c followed by a ctr+v to copy some code and paste it else where.....

If I go to the menu items it all works fine.

I am using VS2005 C++ beta 2.....

    Sure, although I didn't know I had 'show all files' turned off or on....

    basically all I am doing is the following.....
    within code I select some characters... (doesn't matter amount.)
    hit ctrl+c and then immediatley hit ctrl+v: message appears

    or
    within code I select some characters... (doesn't matter amount.)
    hit ctrl+c and then move down two to three lines and hit ctrl+v: message appears

    Sorry, there really isn't must there... If you can tell me where the 'Show all files' option is I can turn it on and then see what happens....

    I am also facing this same problem. But my pc contains VS2005 only.

    Thanks.

    "Show All Files" is an option on solution explorer. It should only affect copy/paste if you are copying and pasting into solution explorer.

    Look for the toolbar button on solution explorer that has a tool tip saying "Show All Files".

    Thanks.

    Yea, that seems weird... I am not doing any copy/paste in the solution explorer.  I am also having another problem (explained here http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=85332) that might be the same issue. 

    When the error list is locked and I try to hit ctrl+c nothing happens... I don't get the message box anymore either. 

    Maybe it is the installation of the product without removing VC++ 6.0

    I am not sure....
    Thanks for the reply's guys... and giving me some answer to the problem....

    Hi: I just tried the following: with "Show All Files" turned off I used CTRL-C/CTRL-V to copy some code from one source file to another ... and it worked.

    It is possible that I am missing something so could you list the exact steps you use when you see the problem.

  • ProTurbo

    It may be related to the issue you referred to (which has been fixed post Beta2).

    Can you give the latest CTP a try and make sure it works for you

    This should really have nothing to do with VC6 being installed. We do support the scenario of having VC6 and VS2005 installed side-by-side on the same machine.

    Thanks.
