Let me just add that though not completely wrong, I can see some C# coloring (seemingly by random cause) broken.
Some examples:
using System.Collections; Collections is colored as member field (variable) and not as a namespace/type name (the same color is used for both type names and namespaces normally).
String s, p;
// ...
p = s.Substring(0,3); Substring is colored as member field (variable) and not as a method.
MyClass m;
m.Stop(); Stop is colored as type name/namespace instead of as a method.
Additionally, VA has problems with context of names. I have a property called Buffer, but there is a type name Buffer in the BCL and for some reason VA prefers it when coloring this property even though based on the context - let's say I type myObject.Buffer - it's "obvious" that Buffer is a not a type from the BCL but my own property.
One more thing - tooltip coloring seems to be seriously broken, random constructs being colored wrong. Note all this applies to C# only. |
This problem when solved will be simple |

Oh, okay, it's just broken for me and my black background. This is about the fifth time this has happenned... maybe there should be a test case for 'does it look more or less right with black background'?
Oh well, I'm rolling back to 1283 for now...

Oh great. I rolled back to 1283, and the coloring is still broken. For all workspaces, even tiny test ones.
Now what?

Ok, I've uninstalled, and re-installed, but I don't have my key on me at the moment, so I guess I've wasted enough time on this for today...

Hello Larry,
I'm using a white background (from the default settings) with VA X build 1282 and I can see this effect also.
Often seen at names starting with "AFX_" (as you already mentioned).
So you're not alone, out there...
With kind regards,
Patrick Luja

Now that I've completely uninstalled, cleaned my Registry, and
re-installed, 1283 now works correctly again. I think I'll stick
with 1283 for now.
Wait - you're seeing this in 1282? Well, I guess you can do what I
did - just remember to save your template files and user dictionary
file, and write down all your VAX Options settings... :)

Larry,
What do you do to clean your registry? I wonder if doing that will clear up some of my problems? Also, is completly uninstalling doing more than using the control panel to uninstall?
Thanks |

To clean the Registy, I use the extremely high-tech approach of
searching for the word 'tomato', and deleting anything I find.
This method has nothing to recommend it, except that it worked for me.
No, 'completely uninstalling' is the same as 'uninstalling', just
with an extra word added. Looks like it's time for me to re-read my
Strunk & White again!

Hello all,
Today I've seen the following. I have code like:CStatic label;
DWORD style = WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD | SS_SUNKEN;
CRect rect(0, 0, 1, 1);
if (!label.Create("", style, rect, this, IDC_STATIC)) {
// bla bla
}
// IDC_STATIC is declared in resource.hHence IDC_STATIC: IDC isn't coloured. Now watch what happend when I enter (UINT) in front of IDC_STATIC:if (!label.Create("", style, rect, this, (UINT) IDC_STATIC)) {UINT isn't italic and isn't coloured, instead of IDC.
I hope this reveals a clue about this bug.
With kind regards,
Patrick Luja |

i get the same effect with the code:
static void test_colouring()
{
Create(0, (UINT)IDC_STATIC);
}
which i produced by taking your example, and simplifying it right down. it is always good to have a working example of these sort of things
