Mapping extensionless header files to C++ in Visual Studio
|
||
|
|
=============================================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Previous versions of the OSG included registry files which enabled syntax
|
||
|
|
highlighting for OSG's extensionless headers in Visual Studio. These are not
|
||
|
|
needed anymore, because starting with Visual Studio 2002 (7.0), there is a
|
||
|
|
setting that will map extensionless files to a certain language in the
|
||
|
|
options. This also works for the Express Editions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Go to Tools-Options.
|
||
|
|
2. Open the Text Editor section, and click on File Extension.
|
||
|
|
3. At the bottom of the window, check the Map Extensionless Files To
|
||
|
|
checkbox, and select Microsoft Visual C++ in the list to the right.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that if you use this feature for other languages, you will have to
|
||
|
|
change it when needed. If that is too cumbersome you may want to generate
|
||
|
|
the registry files and do it that way instead. Please see the
|
||
|
|
.reg files in previous versions of OSG in the VisualStudio directory for
|
||
|
|
a guide on how to do that (hint: check the location of the registry key
|
||
|
|
to make sure the added values end up in the right place for your version
|
||
|
|
of Visual Studio).
