HOWTO: Color Text ClassWizard Updates to Make Mods Easy to See

• The development environment included with: - Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Edition, versions 2.0, 2.1, 4.0, 4.1,

       4.2, 5.0
  

SUMMARY

In Visual C++ version 2.x, the default color for text modified by the ClassWizard is black print on a white background; in Visual C++ version 4.0, the default color is dark gray print on a white background. Visual C++ is aware of the code that the ClassWizard modifies and can highlight these changes for you using a different color. This makes the new modifications very obvious and easy to find.

To set a new text color for ClassWizard-modified code using Visual C++ 2.x, do the following:

• Choose Options from the Tools menu.
• Select the Colors Tab in the Options dialog box.
• Select Wizard-Modified Code in the Set Colors For listbox.
• Define the colors for text and background.

• Choose Options... from the Tools menu.
• Select the Format Tab in the Options dialog box.
• Select All Windows or Source Windows in the Category listbox.
• Select Wizard Code in the Colors listbox.
• Select the desired colors for text and background from the Foreground and Background drop-down list boxes, respectively.
