This is a basically duplication of this question. However, I'm looking for the same answer that will work in C/C++ - some easy way to add comments to the functions with descriptions of all of the parameters. It was really easy to do in SLickEdit - just press Ctrl+SHift+D. All the answers and methods for the aforementioned question were for Java.

Thank you.

Window->Preferences->C/C++ ->Editor->"Documentation tool"
