I used to be able to create snippets and associate them generically so they worked in any file type (this was a year or more ago) but now I can only add them for C++ related files. How do I set this up now? This feature was very useful as I work with file types that are not standard C++ extensions and the snippets were super useful.

Thanks in advance.

I think that what you want is to use a Text snippet.

Please try following:

Open VA Snippet Editor using menu:
- VAssistX->Tools->Edit VA Snippets...

In VA Snippet Editor:
- Set Language to "Text"
- Set type to "All by Title"
- create some snippet
- click OK button to save changes

Then:
- Add .rkj file to Visual Studio project
- Being in that file, use menu VAssistX->Insert VA Snippet...
- Now you should be able to select your snippet

Does it work for you?

EDIT: Nevermind! There is a proper way to do this.

I work on proprietary file types. Let's just say the extension is .rkj, it's not but the point is when I am working on a .rkj file I want to be able to use snippets.

Mostly those listed languages. I'm sorry, what file type are you using Visual Assist on?

You can force Visual Assist to recognize custom file extension as a C++ file, but you should only do that if it is true.

Will this allow me to use snippets in any file type or just the ones listed in the link you added?

It sounds like you need to enable VA for non-C++ file types.

You can do that through the registry, using this:

Hopefully that helps.
