Reverse engineering with VS won't show full project

I'm trying to get Visio's reverse engineering function to work with Visual
Studio, and I get a Visio page with a model explorer window showing all the
objects in my code. However, I want to see a diagram of my code elements for
an object, something like:

CMyClass::Foofunc()--->HelperFunc1()-->GetInputFunc()
| ---->HelperFunc2()

Instead, when I drag and drop objects, all i get is a giant rectangle
listing all elements in the containing class, rather than a nice diagram
with individual boxes, one per function/property/member. Is this possible
with a C#/C++ program, or is reverse engineering only supposed to show
database relationships.

I'd also like a sequence diagram showing the path through a function or a
class--is this possible?

thanks

The reverse-engineering function will show the Classes(as rectangles) and
the Class will contain the attributes and operations in it. It is part of
the UML notation. If there is inheritance between two classes, an
inheritance relationship will be drawn between both classes.

Visio will not automatically diagram the function call map.
This can be done manually however.
