Color custom class names?
-
I find that the coloring of the built-in types (the ones that count as keywords) helps me follow the flow of code by drawing my eye to declarations, function headers, etc. But as my programs get more complicated (I'm a college student) I end up using straight ints and doubles less and less. I would like to be able to have the IDE automatically collect class names and let me choose a different color to make them. It seems like it shouldn't be too hard for someone who knows what they're doing to hook into IntelliSense, enumerate the classes, and add custom keywords or something to the IDE...but of course I have no idea how to do this. It would be even nicer if it would make a distinction between classes defined in files I've got in my current workspace and classes defined by headers I included. (maybe just by checking whether a header is included with <> or "") Is there a package out there that will do this for me, or can anyone give me some advice more specific than "learn VB and the VS.net object model, then go do it"? -Heschi

Visual Assist might be your friend. I'm not using it,though cause I don't wann pay the $79. But from the trial I can say, that it's a great package! Cheers Martin "Situation normal - all fu***d up" Illuminatus!

There is information in MSDN on how to do this. You might try searching usertype.dat Derek Smigelski
