VS2017 beta library function, intellisense

Hi,

Installed latest (sp2) version on VS2017.
Using ESP8266 toolchain Arduino 1.8.1

When using the "create project when adding libraries".

The projects are created and being compiled when updated.

But the intellisense is not working for the library code.

1)
Not 100% sure yet but looks like the "core classes" are not included.
I have "red lines" under most of the include files.

2)
I have two libraries, one of that includes the other.
This is also not recognized by intellisense.

PS/Offtopic : Can I also include the "core" as shared project ?

Thanks. The new features are a small test to see how it is received and how well it can work.

The intellisense should inherit from the startup project (shown in bold in the solution explorer)

I have noticed a few vs bugs around shared projects. It's possible it will sort itself out if you restart the ide but I will do more testing with 2017. So far most of my tests have been with 2015 because the installer works better for multiple tests.

As concerns core, yes you are right. It's going to be useful and is planned but held back until libraries are stable and some more docs are available.

Initial doc here http://www.visualmicro.com/post/2017/01/16/Arduino-Cross-Platform-Library-Develo...

Question. Did you add a reference to the library as per the instruction in the output window after adding the library?

Hi,

Sorry, missed indeed the statement on referencing the shared project.
Need to read more accurate when I start using new features enthusiastic (this was one of the one for which I started looking into VS/VSMicro).
Yes, great feature !

I hope I am not have a RTFM again but in both library code as also main .ino file I see intellisense issues with some defines. (I am into low level libraries/code).

The pgm_read_byte is coming from cores/esp8266/pgmspace.h

Hi

Some hardware needs extra intellisense support in Visual studio that Visual Micro can provide.

This is not related to shared projects or editing libraries. It will always have been an unreported issued.

Please create a new thread for this discussion so that is can be investigated

Thanks
