Hi,

One feature I miss when I code C++ is the

// TODO: fix this code

feature from ReSharper (TODOs have a different color
and they're in bold).

It really helps to see them when you browse through the code.

Cheers.

I know it is not quite the same, but have you tried using the IDE's task list window?

I've tried it, the problem with Task List is that it shows all the Comments, if you have a really big project you you will have tens of TODOs, and then you have to search for your TODOs... kinda sucks.

Not to mention that I need to open another window, the source code window is always open.

Do you want this all of the time, or only sometimes, when you are actually thinking about the TODO comments? The current version of VA adds the ability to highlight IDE find results:

VA Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Highlight find results

and you can bind a keyboard shortcut to the command:

VAssistX.FindSelected

to start the highlighting without moving the caret. I find that Alt+K works well for me.

Which IDE are you using?

Unfortunately this option is not available in VC6.
