Hi,
Would it be possible to add the support for .wsf files containing VBscript.
Visual IDE already support it, I'd really love to have VA support.
It should be a major issue as you already support .vbs files
Best regards,
Patrick
Ex:
<job>
<script language="VBScript" src="MyLib.vbs"/>
<script language="VBScript">
' VBScript code goes here.
</script>
</job>

Based on this FAQ: http://docs.wholetomato.com?W328
you may find that adding ".wsf" to the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Whole Tomato\\Visual Assist X\\VANet8\\ExtHtml = ...
for the correct IDE helps. Note that you will need to rebuild VA's symbol databases as described in the FAQ. I have not tried this here, I don't recognise the file extension ".wsf" personally.
If this does do something don't expect miracles. From this page:
http://www.wholetomato.com/support/matrix.asp
we do support VB, but VBScript is a bit different. |

Thanks for your answer
I'm using Visual .Net 2003 (7.1).
I'm ok with the features.
I'm interested by features like "List Methods in File" which approximately works for VBS files.
I wonder why sometimes for no apparent reasons it doesn't recognize some functions/subs.
I tried modifying the keys :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Whole Tomato\\Visual Assist X\\VANet71\\ExtVB = ...
which was already containing .vbs
and/or ExtHtml
I also tried to add the the extension to Tools|Options|Projects|VC++ Build|C/C++ File Extensions and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\8.0\\Languages\\File Extensions\\.xxx, but this shouldn't be necessary as Visual already recognise this type of file and highlight it.
without success the VA toolbar with Context/Definition/Goto Implementation only appears for the VBS files.
In addition, do you think that the support for VBS will be added in future released as an improvement (which is a bit different from VB but quite close).
Regards, |

Just found that problem :
create a blank .VBS a copy/paste the following code
function A()
set a = new foo
end function
function B()
end function
function C()
end function
If I type alt-M, functions A() and C() are listed but B()
but if you remove "set" it works, i think the problem is because set optionnal in VB not in VBS
if I find something else I let you know.
Thanks |

cool, one bug less soon.
Any idea why I can't register .wsf to act like .vbs/.vb ?
Thanks |

Based on this FAQ entry:
http://docs.wholetomato.com?W328
I simply edited the registry key, to become:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Whole Tomato\\Visual Assist X\\VANet8\\ExtVB = ".vb;.vbs;.dsm;.bas;.cls;.frm;.dob;.wsf;"
so I added .wsf; - note the trailing semi-colon. I did this with all IDE instances closed. When I re-loaded VS2005 I have the VA context and definition fields showing in my test WSF file, just like they are showing in my VBS file.
I did not need to clone any registry keys, since an entry already existed for ".wsf" in the correct part of the registry.
This is using VS2005 and VA 1559 |
