it would be great to enable visual assist auto completion and syntax highlighting on hlsl files (gpu shaders sources files).

they are very similar to c++. differences are a lot more of keywrd, like float4 normalize, ... and more functions parameters modifier like uniform, in, out, inout and semantic ( : COLOR0 ).

a code change in VA to support this is unlikely, at least in the sort term. however you should be able to get fairly close by first telling VA to parse these file extensions, see point 5 here:

http://www.wholetomato.com/support/faq.html

and then add the relevant #define entries to VA's stdafx.h, as discussed here:

note this assumes that you are running the latest beta, since this technique will not work in VA 1446

I've added cgfx/hlsl keywords into my dev environment, but it would be awesome if VAX supported it natively.
