Hi There

Iam getting wrong colouring when I use #ifdef or #ifndef in my code. If the #define is in the cpp file then all is OK, but if its in a header file then it doesnt work.

ie
Header File has
#define SHOWCODE

and cpp has

#ifdef SHOWCODE
void Foo()
{ }
#else
void Foo1()
{ }
#endif

VA always shows Foo1 has highlighted for me. This is with 1649 build and Visual studio 2005.

If you are talking about graying out inactive source code: it is an IDE feature, and not related to Visual Assist.
It is done by IDE's own Intellisense, so if you have turned off default intellisense (for example by renaming feacp.dll), it can be the reason.

This is controlled via the option:

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Formatting -> Colorize inactive code blocks in a different color
