Hi,
I have VC++ 2003 solutions where it does make a difference if I open up the sln file from the Windows Explorer or from VS2003 through File->Open Solution.
By double clicking on the sln file from Windows Explorer the enhanced syntax coloring does not work. Disabling/Enabling VAX does not change anything. I tried to rebuild the symbols, I deleted the ncb file nothing changes.
Opening the very same solution from VS2003 through File->Open Solution gives me the expected enhanced syntax coloring.
This does not happen for every project. Currently I can reproduce this only for Win32 dll projects (Windows installer custom action dlls to be precise). ATL/COM projects behave normally no matter how I open them.
I use VAX 1293 in VS.NET 2003 on Windows Server 2003.
Any ideas?

Weird.
Could you provide a small project that shows this behaviour?
Please mail it to [email protected]

| Just sent the sample solution. Hope it behaves just like on my machine... |

At first, I noticed that it took a huge amount of time to load the solution (first time only).
After loading (and VAX parsing all my include-folders, cause "it was time again"), HyMsiExec.cpp is opened automagically.
It is enhanced-colored on my system when I doubleclick the solution.
I cross-checked it with opening the file through the meu-command (File -> Open...), which is also colored right from the start.
BUT (and now comes the weirdness), when I open the solution from within the IDE, I cannot get the "Show local symbols in BOLD" to work, no matter what I try...

I did some more testing and it seems that only solutions under my path D:\\projects\\setups\\ do show this behaviour. "setups" is the import part of the path.
I copied a solution to D:\\temp and enhanced syntax coloring worked no matter how I opened the solution. So D:\\projetcs\\setups\\HypMsiExec\\HypMsiExec.sln fails to use enhanced syntax coloring when opened through double clicking the sln file. But it works when it is double clicked from D:\\temp\\HypMsiExec\\HypMsiExec.sln
Strange, isn't it? |

I also have such a strange behavior.
Whenever the full path name of the solution file (sln) contains "setup" string, syntax coloring is gone.
"c:\\dev\\src\\setuphlp\\setuphlp.sln", for example.
If I change the path to "c:\\dev\\src\\other\\setuphlp.sln", then it works fine.

Yup, confirmed behaviour.
"Setup" somewhere in the Path kills Syntax Coloring. |

Not here! Only after I renamed my solution so that its name didn't contain 'setup' the problem is gone. Is this a bug in VAX or in Visual Studio?

Since we assigned a case for it and it deals with Enhanced Syntax Coloring (= a VAX Feature only), it is a VAX Bug... well, at least I am sure that it is...  |

I could solve this problem by changing foreground letter color to
customized color( set to same color with fixed color you choose )
tool -> option -> environment -> font&color
Sorry for my poor english. I'm korean.
I guess there is nobody understood.
I hope my reply help you.
bye~ |
