I am trying to get symbol information for code using non-standard extensions. The code is a lot like Java.
VA doesn't seem to build up any symbol information for these files. I have my extensions in the registry already and it doesn't seem to help.
I previously used an addin called Workspace Whiz that worked fine for these extensions. VA seems much better across the board, however, it is much less useful if the symbols from these source files are not created. This means I cannot jump to implementation, flip to header or lookup symbols from any of these files.
Is there any plan to support these non-standard extensions?
Thank you.

Thank you. I got the header flipping to work by modifying an existing addin. |

you can also try looking into the macro in the swapping between cpp and h files in this article
http://www.codeproject.com/macro/VSHelper.asp
using this as a start point you should be able to write a macro to respect your custom file extensions and then bind a keyboard shortcut to it. |

"Header flipping" only works with c/h extensions. No workaround.
We suggest using the MRU within the VA View. Enable "Include opened files" if it seems to make sense for you.

The symbols are now being built. The only problem I have now is the header flipping. Should this work with non c/h files? |

I just found the ExtHeader and ExtSource that already existed. I am going to try it again now with them setup correctly now.. :) |

I tried to follow the FAQ as closely as I could. The only part I wasn't sure about was adding the header to the extsource and extheader. These didn't exist when I went in to edit them. I created a new key for each and then changed the default value to be .myh; and .mycpp;
Is this the way I was supposed to do it? |

We assume you have read our FAQ on the topic. Telling the IDE and VA X your code is cpp is the best we can do.
Make sure you pay attention to the details:
