[br]Hi,
I get wrong coloring when using macros, like in the following example:
[code]
[blue]#include[/blue] [brown]"stdafx.h"[/brown]

[blue]class MyClass[/blue]
{
	[blue]void [/blue] [brown]MyFunction[/brown]() {};
};

[blue]#define[/blue] [purple]MMM [/purple] [blue]MyClass[/blue]

[blue]void [/blue] [brown]TestFunction[/brown]()
{
	[blue]MyClass [/blue] [limegreen]mc1[/limegreen];
	[limegreen]mc1[/limegreen].[brown]MyFunction[/brown]();
	[purple]MMM [/purple] mc2;
	mc2.[brown]MyFunction[/brown]();
}
[/code]
mc1 gets proper coloring for "variables" (I set it green for this sample).
mc2 should also get this coloring but remains black.

I rebuilt symbol database, cleared cache and restarted IDE.

Regards,
Leto

leto58	Posted - Oct 15 2008 : 04:45:37 AM Hi, The example I sent was already on a brand new win32 project. But I found the problem: Due to issues on parsing macros that called macros, I followed the instructions given in FAQ http://docs.wholetomato.com?W363 and it was the cause of the problem. As soon as I resumed registry to default values (removed LimitMacro and LimitMacroParsing=01), I got proper syntax coloring. It does not matter anyway, since VA was not able to parse some of my macros (which called macros) with or without the LimitMacro trick. I will send you an example of these macros when I am able to reproduce similar ones (independent of my code) on a simple project. Regards, Leto
accord	Posted - Oct 12 2008 : 10:03:16 AM I wasn't able to reproduce your problem here using VS2005 and VAX1649. Can you please try to paste your example into a new win32 test project to see if the coloring working here? I guess you have something in the surrounding source that cause this effect.
