Hi,

I don't know if this is very standardized, so this may not be a very valid question/request.

It is common at our company to create H/IPP file pairs for template classes. The IPP extension represents a header, but at the same time it's the implementation file for a template class. For example:

SomeClass.h:

#ifndef SOMECLASS_H
#define SOMECLASS_H

class SomeClass
{
};

#include "SomeClass.ipp"

#endif // SOMECLASS_H


As you can see, we include the IPP at the bottom, which is how we are able to put the implementations for the template class member functions in a different file.

Anyway, when I press ALT+O on the H file, it doesn't find the IPP file and go to that. I realize that IPP may not be supported by ALT+O, but that's where I have a pretty cool suggestion:

Add an option to the VAX menu that allows you to list any given number of extensions to search for when ALT+O is pressed. For example, for H files we might want to specify in the options that it should try to find the first occurrence of *.CPP, *.IPP, *.C, etc.

Let me know if this is just a bug (meaning it was always intended for VAX to find IPP files using ALT+O) or if this just isn't a supported feature. If it's not a supported feature, then the above paragraph is my feature request.

I'm sorry guys, I'm dumb...

I didn't have the IPP in my project (doh!)

This whole time I thought it couldn't find the IPP file because the IPP extension wasn't standard or something :) Sorry again!

Does VAX know that the IPP files are code files? Do you get syntax highlighting in them?

See this FAQ for telling VAX about extra file extensions.

Are the ipp files listed in the VA file list (OFIW)?
