Apologies if this been already discussed.

Would it be great to be able to hide the MS annotations (SAL and whatever) in C headers? They have awful lot of these annotations so that the headers are hardly human readable anymore!

Make it as simple as: hide/collapse all annotations that begin with __ or _.
Possibly with a user defined whitelist for few simple things (__in, __out, etc.).


Also, in the hide mode it should be possible to copy portion of text as displayed, without the annotation crap.

Thanks for reading,

ddebug

If you are talking about actually changing how the header files are shown in the editor, then unfortunately the answer is no. VA works "behind" the IDE, without its knowledge, so trying to change the text visible on the screen like this is going to cause quite a few problems.

But you could try changing the VA colour for "Preprocessor macros" in

VA Options -> Advanced -> Fonts and Colors

to a fairly "bland" colour, one that does not stand out to much. This should cause these to become a lot less obvious, making it easier to read the remaining code.
