Hi. I'm using VAX Version 1418 on VS.Net 2003 with Windows XP Professional. It's absolutely wired that Enhanced Syntax Coloring doesn't work in the main editor of VS. But it works in other places, such as tips, Intellisense, suggestion lists and so on.
What is the problem? Thanks a lot. |

i would not have expected a patched dll to have quite that effect, but then again, patching dll's does sound a bit hit and miss to me. i am happy you have found a solution  |

thanks, I change to StyleXP, and everything looks fine. Maybe, the cracked Uxtheme.dll is the fatal reason. |

i run VAX with VS2003 and Window Blinds installed without any problems, i have for years.

i am still running Window Blinds version 4, so i cannot comment on version 5, but i would expect it to co-exist with VA quite happily. |

I got the problem. The reason is that I use a windows theme. After restoring to Windows's default theme, everything is OK. VAX seems not support other themes with a cracked Uxtheme.dll which provide support for advance themes.
Any more suggestions? |

I turn this function on. And the default button you mentioned does nothing useful. Bad luck.
Besides VAX, I didn't install any other plugin for VS.Net 2003. Is it possible that external program will affect VAX?

Image2: enhanced syntax color in Intellisense and VA View

silly question first, do you have this turned off? check
VA Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Apply Colouring to -> Source Windows
if this is turned off, but the others are turned on you will get this effect.
if this is turned on, can you try IDE tools menu -> options -> fonts and colours -> use defaults button
very occasionally this is required before the syntax highlighting starts working in the editor.
if neither helps are you using a dark background in the editor? doing anything else "odd"? any other plugin's installed? |
