I am working with Visual Studio 6 and VA build 2036.

In my project (.dsp), i have some .dat files which are not compiled and where the syntax for each line is: <variable> = <value>
<variable> is a global variable declared in one of the .cpp/.h files of the project (for example: int giTest;).

If i want to use the "Rename" capability of VA on one of the <variable>, it renames properly all references in the .cpp/.h files but the .dat files are not included in the process.
Is there a way to specify to VA a specific file extension other than the standard ones used by the Visual Studio?



VA_X.dll file version 10.8.2036.0 built 2014.05.22
MSDev.exe version 6.0.9782.1
Devshl.dll version 6.0.9782.0
Devedit.pkg version 6.0.9782.0
Font: Courier -13 (pixels)
Comctl32.dll version 5.82.7601.17514
Windows 7 6.1 Build 7601 Service Pack 1
4 processors (x86-64, WOW64)
Language info: 1252, 0x409

Platform: Win32 (x86)

Thank you for the update, I am glad it was this simple.

I tried this and it's perfectly working. I add other extensions in my project i'm now able to manage too.
The colouring of the files is different but that's ok for what i'm doing with such files.

So thanks a lot for the support.

This FAQ explains how to tell VA to look for and be active in other file extensions:

this should do what you want, but it might have some odd side effects on the colouring of the files, since these dat files don't sound anything like normal C++ syntax.
