Brace Highlighting

For some reason I'm not getting brace { or ( highlighting in the IDE for my .ino files.

I've checked several things in options and it all looks right. Loaded a standard C++ program and it works.

.ino is listed as a C++ program

Any ideas?
Has anyone else experienced this?

Using VS 2015 Community and latest version of Visual Micro.

Thanks,

Jeffery

Hi,

Visual Micro should already have configured the registry to tell Visual Studio that Arduino .ino and .pde file extensions should be treated as C++.

You can try running visual studio with admin permissions to see if the auto config works or you can manually configure using this link

Thanks, I'm sorry I wasn't clear in my post but I did see that .ino and .pde were listed as C++ programs and I just went back to double check too.

Do you have any other ideas what might be the problem?

I did create a new Arduino project thinking that I might have messed up some setting in my current project but it didn't show the brace highlighting either. Strange.

Thanks,

Jeffery

Not sure, it's working okay for me in .ino files and isn't something visual micro interferes with.

Have all the updates been applied to visual studio?
