Default small in MS VC++? - 11-06-2004

Is there any way of getting MSVC++ 6 to apply C++ formatting, debugging etc to a 'small' file for adminmod under win XP? I originally had .sma files set to open in notepad, I changed them to open in VC++, but it won't display all the pretty colours. However, if I save them as .c files, they format normally.

Any Ideas?

*Its a not-quite-legal version, so I don't have the manual*

Perhaps you could find something to hack in the registry. If you could make it believe .sma is another extension for C source.

Personally I have never been able to change the color scheme in MSVC 6 (which is a feature I miss quite much, since in my daywork code I use a lot of typedef'ed stuff. If that could show up in blue too that would be ideal).

Ditch, VC for sma files, and get a copy of this:

I bought my copy -really no kidding- at least 6-7 years ago.

Great editor. Been using it for most everything except directly hacking MS MFC apps, then I use VS.

If you go to configuration/ syntax highlighting then open the file that controls the highlighting, you can setup any file any way you want to including specifying individual keywords if you want to.
GREAT editor.
1) Get a copy
2) Send the Brit the bucks.
3) It is worth it….

Do you still want all the IDE features or do you just want a decent text editor and manage all the compilation through make files ?

I'd recommend the latter. Choosing the text editor falls back to what features do you want it to have. I use Emacs and I love it so much, yes it took a while to learn but then, nearly everything is done through Emacs. Some people prefer VIM, which is an excellent one too. Check them out.
