RTF in the Clipboard

Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 users now have the option to copy RTF to the clipboard. Paste your colored code into RTF-enabled applications such as Wordpad and Outlook. Email your code in color and make it easier for others to read.

Limited Context

Visual Assist X parses the clipboard apart from its original source. Context for symbols in is determined only from the content of the clipboard. If you copy a small segment of code, it is possible Visual Assist X cannot determine the context of all symbols in the clipboard and hence, not color them properly.

Microsoft Visual Studio

Copying HTML to the clipboard is a built-in feature of Microsoft Visual Studio and Visual Assist X does not enhance the feature. The clipboard contains only the default colors of the IDE. Enhanced syntax colors are not placed in the clipboard.
