AS syntax highlighting in VS

_Sigma · 2007-07-25T09:40:59

Been in communication with Jon, the developer of Codekana, ViEmu, etc. Was talking to him concerning how easy it is to add custom highlighting to VS (not easy :( ), and he suggested something. Since AS is very similar to C/C++, you can use the C/C++ syntax highlighter on AS scripts. Some things break the highlighting, such as '@'s, but minor price to pay, IMHO, for having basic synhl when developing scripts! Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\Languages\File Extensions (Substitute 8.0 by 7.1 for VS.NET 2003). Create a new key, and name it '.as'. Copy the value of Default from the .cpp key, and paste it into the Default value of the new .as key. And now you have C highlighting for your AS scripts. Hopefully this can help someone else out. Like I said, it has limitations, but such is life. little demo: [Edited by - _Sigma on July 23, 2007 3:45:58 PM]

It does indeed support files. I'll see if I can upload these reg keys, later on.
