IDA is not displaying the wsprintfA() text in the disassembly window. Is it possible to make it show the text in the disassembly window like other tools?

Thanks.

Hi! Thanks for highlighting the issue and sharing the screenshots.
In cases like this, we generally recommend relying on the decompiler output, which, as you mentioned, already offers good visibility into the strings.
Is there a particular situation where using a decompiler isn’t convenient for you?
Either way, we’ll keep this in mind as a potential feature request (and see how much community interest it gathers).
I have no issues or inconveniences with the decompiler. I think IDA showing the text in the disassembly window like the other programs would be a quality of life improvement.
IDA does one major advantage over the other programs, its the only one that can read and parse the Borland C++ “.debug” section in the EXE. That gives me about 90% of the function names, global variables, and other stuff.
I agree with you, but this would require reimplementation of an existing feature on the IDA level. We have to prioritize other features in this case because the ratio of the benefit over efforts is lower than for other features.
Understood. Thanks for the response.
