Syntax highlighting (VS2008 Express)

Hi all,

I have set up the include path and the lib. The examples compile and run successfully; however, I have syntax colour highlighting of things like createdevice()

Is this normal?

Thanks in advance!

Including libaries and sources to your project makes IntelliSense refresh the commandreference, so it can highlight the new commands, classes, etc.

Yes it is normal and it is quite a nice feature.

greetings

Sorry it was meant to read:

I do not have syntax highlighting

Intellisense can be dumb sometimes. I've found the best way to fix it is just close the solution and delete the Intellisense file in your it. When you open the solution back up, it regenerates the file in a few seconds, and hopefully makes everything show up nicely.

That didn't work.

Just to check should I have any syntax highlighting in the following line?

IrrlichtDevice *device =
createDevice( video::EDT_SOFTWARE, dimension2d<u32>(640, 480), 16,
false, false, false, 0);

Because at the moment the only things that are highlighted are the falses
