From: Lee Fisher Date: 2003-09-20T07:27:02+09:00 Subject: Re: Embedded Ruby in a MSVC++ project? Clifford, Sorry, I'm not sure how to tweak VS to this degree. I'd suggest the newsgroup mentioned in the last msg. [I'm really not a good GUI user, I use the free .NET Framework SDK command line tools, and a programmer's editor. Anyway, I'm more interested in getting Ruby IL compilers for .NET first, then getting Ruby working in Visual Studio.] I'll try to ask around and see if I can get some more success with Ruby language support. Since we're talking about tweaking VS, there is a new tool that might be interesting to you: PowerToys for Visual Studio http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/ide/ "PowerToys for Visual Studio .NET 2003 are a collection of cool utilities and tools developed by Microsoft that enhance Visual Studio. This initial collection of PowerToys will allow you to fine-tune Visual Studio's hidden registry settings, add comments and build help files, load files from the command line and create custom IDE window layouts. All of the PowerToys for Visual Studio .NET 2003 releases also include the source code for you to freely modify and distribute to your hearts content." ps: Ben, sorry for misunderstanding your original VC question. -----Original Message----- From: Clifford Heath [mailto:cjh_nospam@managesoft.com] Sent: Thursday, September 18, 2003 5:16 PM To: ruby-talk ML Subject: Re: Embedded Ruby in a MSVC++ project?

In Tools->Options->Text Editor, there is a list of supported languages. You can set the indenting depths and tab usage for each language. Lots of folk here are editing Ruby using VS, but there doesn't appear to be a way to add Ruby as a recognised language - obviously not for debugging purposes but even for editing. Anyone have a clue how to fix this? It seems amazing to me that a sophisticated IDE like this doesn't have extensible editor settings... Clifford.
