Hello, this is only MSVC 2k8 problem (works ok in MSVC 2k3).
When I find a string in all files (Ctrl+Shift+F), Find Results matches are not highlighted.
settings: - "Hightlight find results" is checked in VA X - I only changed "VA X Find Result" color from yellow to dark yellow (similar color as it's used in MSVC 2k3)
Thanks for your reply. I thought this is about another problem - there's no highlight text inside Find Results window at all. Even if I click into Find Results window and search for the text inside this window (Ctrl+F).
This is how it works in older MSVC 2k3 (but no highlights in Find Results window in MSVC 2k8):
sean, is it please possible to configure if a user wants highlighting in Output/Find Results windows? Highlighted results in those windows are well arranged - I can very easily localize found results on the line in Find Results window (try to use MSVC 2k3 and you'll get used to it ). Thanks.
Yes, it does make sense. I've opened a feature request for it. case=26758
It's not really clear why exactly it worked before (in some cases) but suspect that it was a fluke invalidated by changes in the IDE. The other troubling thing is the inconsistent behavior: 1) sort of present in the output window but not at all in the Find Results windows 2) output window is using a different color than is used in the editor windows 3) appears to happen on some systems but not others
