On the new Website, you say:
quote:
RTF in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
Copying RTF to the clipboard is a built-in feature of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. Visual Assist X does not enhance the feature. The clipboard in this IDE contains only the default colors of the IDE. Enhanced syntax colors are not placed in the clipboard.


Is it possible to also enhance the Syntax-Coloring for Clipboard/Print in VS.NET?
Would be a great feature!

We would like the features ourselves.

VA sniffs the clipboard after MS has copied to it. For VC++ 6.0, we see only text in the clipboard. We parse the code in the clipboard and replace it with RTF. No problem. Similar setup for printing. The only problem we have is we lose context of code snippets, hence coloring can be off.

With VS.NET, MS puts HTML in the clipboard. We need to parse it, then the code embedded in it, and put either RTF or HTML back into the clipboard. The task is not impossible but bigger than in is VC++ 6.0. We just haven't gotten to it. Hence, when you copy or print, you see only the VS.NET colors, in HTML, in the clipboard or on your paper.
