Enhanced suggestions

VA X in VS2010

VS2010: VA X and C++/CLI
Microsoft seems to have challenged themselves to see how much they can change for VS2010 — new WPF shell, snazzy text editor, MEF-based extensibility, VSIX installers, C++ build system, oh my. This is a major release both on the surface and…
Add Include
May 6, 2009
We recently released a feature for C/C++ that has long been requested: Add Include. A lot of work had previously been put into our #include completion listboxes – but that work is moot because now you don’t need to type #includes directives by hand.
The Add Include command is available when you place the caret on a symbol which is declared in a header file that is not directly…

We learned that many Visual Studio users only work in the IDE for editing and debugging but not for doing builds. Because it is not…
Versionitis (of the host environment)
January 7, 2009
Yesterday, I posted about a new feature in VA X 10.5. I failed to mention that the new feature is only supported in Visual Studio versions starting with Visual Studio.NET (vs2002+). While we continue to support VC++ 6, not all features we introduce going forward will be…
Mark All Occurrences

Highlight Find Results is a new feature in Visual Assist X 10.5. By default, this feature tracks your standard Find commands and highlights all of the find results in the text editor. Some people may not want this feature enabled by default and would rather manually…
