Hi I have a quick question. How do you enable showing different overloaded functions in the navigation bar in Visual Studio for C++?
For example currently I have two functions, one with 0 and and one with several parameters and the navigation bar only displays the function with no parameters by default.
Thanks!

2023-01-18T00:35:48.4+00:00 Here 'tis the screenshots, thx. First shows the lack of an overload for backupDone in the navigation bar and second shows the overloaded function that doesn't show up in the navigation bar. Also I don't think it's relevant but I am using the Qt VS Tools plugin as this is a Qt project.
***update I just created a new solution with a Qt Widgets Application and in that solution overloads show up just fine. So the problem is isolated to my Qt project I imported into VS by opening the Qt .pro project file with the Qt VS Tools extension.
