	Hi I am trying to compile a project with multiple INO files. The code is example code for a menu system. I does compile in Arduino IDE but seem to not find the references to items contained in the other files in Visual Studio 2019.

	I think this is related to the new auto prototype generation added a few months ago. Can you email the .ino files so we can try it? Thanks

	Brilliant thanks. The issue is with the insertion of missing pototypes. If you add a dummy method at line 88 that will workaround until a fix is available. For example at this to line 88:- Code (C++) void insertPrototypesBeforeMe() {} More info The prototypes are being inserted (in background) after line 89 instead of before it. Line 89 passes a "function reference" as a paramater to a function call. The new ctags prototype system in visual micro is not detecting the reference, therefore it believes the prototypes are not needed until later in the code. Thanks for the report!

	Hi Tim The workaround works fine thanks. I would never have found that. You are a genius.
