You have to go to Tools->Editor Options->Class explorer*->options of the 
search engine*-<check the two boxes there (I don't know the diference 
between the local and the global includes, it seems to be includes of 
the project to which the file belongs and global any other header (here 
the stdio.h etc).
It works as you want, but if you are writing a win32 app, as windows.h 
includes a ton of other headers it is too slow, because it has to parse 
all those headers.
