In VS .net, when copying text to clipboard and then copy it to word processors such as MS Word, the syntax coloring information is also copyed. In another word, the text copyed to Word is also colored. But the text colored by Enhance Syntax Coloring of VA is not copyed correctly with the coloring information. Is it possible to keep them with the same color in Word as in text editor window in VS .net?
And in VS 6, it is possible to copy text in RTF format with the help of VA, and the coloring information is OK. But the font information is not copyed correctly. So the font after copying is quite different from the one shown in the text editor window of VS 6. |

Good point about 1149 being in the private forum. Here is the relevant text:
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. |

Any chance that this feature (copy VAX-enhanced Colored Sourcecode into clipboard) will be implemented into VAX for VS .NET?
You don't need to say when, just if it is planned... |

Thanks.
And what about the font in VS 6?
In fact, the font in the VS6 edit window is that such as Fixedsys or Terminal, but after copying to MS Word, the font is the default font in Word, such as Times New Roman. It seems that what VA does is monitoring the clipboard and color the text in it. Hence maybe it is possible to read the IDE settings to get the font name and size of the edit window and then make the text in the clipboard the same font. It would be quite convenient if it is so.

No chance for enhanced-color copying in VS.NET any time soon. Nowhere near the short list.

We will check into copying font to the clipboard for VC++ 6.0.
