help needed for VS2005 add-in using native c++
-
I am trying to develop custom visualizers for native code in Visual Studio 2005. As I understand they were available for native code in beta's but were removed from release version. So I am thinking to add a custom menu in code window contextmenu, hook with debugger, get the data for selected variable, identify type using RTTI or provide a dialog where user can enter types and then render it. Is this approach fesiable? Another problem I have is there is not enough documentation for extending VS IDE using native code. So right now I am not even able to add a context menu on right click. I can see the menu I am trying to add sometimes but add-in always crashes. I tried articles on CP and none of them added a context menu in native code. Any pointers or advice for articles or samples will be much appreciated. thanks, -Saurabh

I have tried a product called 'Visual Watch' which provides such functionalities. But it doesn't support VS 2005 yet.
does it support adding user defined classes or structures. thanks, Saurabh
