screencast for test code

e.g.:

* class template with a getInstance() public method:

    template<typename T>
    class Singleton : boost::noncopyable
    {
    public:
        static T* getInstance() {
            ...
        }
        ....

* some children SettingsManager:
        
    class SettingsManager : public Singleton<SettingsManager>, public Speaker<SettingsManagerListener> ...
    
    
* and using something like this:
    SettingsManager::getInstance()->get(setting);
    ......................^
so, we have the next result "unable to resolve identifier"...
    
But! if you use manually type cast, e.g:
  ((Singleton<SettingsManager>)SettingsManager)::getInstance()->get(setting);
  
  this is working fine (see screenshot)

although build is successful in any case with a both variants...problem with only code-completion
I also read http://stackoverflow.com/a/14914647 - BUT this settings is not available! о_О see attach

If i use globally Tools -> Options -> C/C++ -> Code Assistance and/or addition to project properties "Include Directories and Headers": "unable to resolve identifier" has disappeared(notification & highlight getInstance()), but code-completion has not found still - "No Suggestions" 


****
also you can try with the following code:

namespace intellisense {   // <- *1

    template<typename T>
    class TplClass
    {
    public:
        static T* staticType(){};
        static void staticVoid(){};
        void foo(){};
    };
    
    //...

    class Settings : public TplClass<Settings>
    {
    public:

        void show()
        {
            // check here
        };

    private:
        friend class TplClass<Settings>;   // <- *2
    };
    
    //...
    
    class AlsoUse
    {
    public:
        
        void show()
        {
            // check here
        };
        
    };
    
    // etc.,
};


works if you remove *1 or *2
otherwise it is necessary put the TplClass<Settings>:: or ((TplClass)Settings):: etc.
