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. |
