Hello,
I am in a newbie in the realm of Visual Studio…
We have a C++ project , plus some script text files ( referenced by the project, at this time as simple text files).
We want to extend Visual Studio to have syntax highlighting, outlining, code completion, text reformatting on these script files.
In addition to this, some of the functions of the C++ project are directly referenced in the script file (their name is written as a param).
We would like to be able, in the script file, to press "Goto definition" and go to the corresponding C++ definition.
I've already written a Visual Studio extension(not a language extension), which provides some syntax highlighting, outlining, and completion.
However, it seems that without a language extension, it is not possible to highlight multiline comments, do text formatting, ... ? Or am I mistaken ? Would I be better with a language extension ?
Which way should I go to implement a “Goto Definition” command available on my script files, which would be able to find the correct C++ definition ?
Thank you in advance for your help and advice!
