SlickEdit does not cuurently include color-coding support for any of the new C++ keywords that were added in Visual Studio 2005 to support .NET (C++/CLI). Additionally, some of the new keywords are whitespaced (contain embedded blanks).
I tried to add the new keywords manually via the “Color Coding Setup†dialog box, but there is no way to specify keywords with embedded spaces.
The following are the new whitespaced keywords:
enum class
enum struct
for each
interface class
interface struct
ref class
ref struct
value class
value struct
The words “value†or “refâ€, for example are not keywords when used alone. It is perfectly valid to have a variable named “valueâ€, “refâ€, or “each†because these are not keywords by themselves.
The other new C++ keywords (without whitespace) are as follows:
gcnew
generic
nullptr
abstract
delegate
event
finally
in
initonly
internal
literal
override
property
sealed
where
Could you possibly add support for whitespaced keywords in a future version of SlickEdit, as well as add all of the new C++ keywords to your built-in color coding support?
Thanks,
