toolbar 'browse'

[annettsche]

Hello,

i have been working with the Compaq Visual Fortran Compiler before. Now I am searching a toolbar 'browse' with definitions and references. Does it still exist in the Visual Studio 2005? I am also missing 'go to definition of/to' via right mouse-click.

When I want to change the fonts and colors of the text-editor (options -> environment -> font and colors -> text-editor) it seems impossible to change the color of the Fortran keywords (e.g. integer, do while). Is there another way to change colors and fonts?

I would be happy to receive some help.

Thanks a lot in advance,
Annette

Annette,

Welcome to the forum!

Sorry, the "source browser" feature is not available with Intel Visual Fortran. We are looking at alternatives for a cross-reference feature.

I was not aware before you wrote that it seemed impossible to change the color that keywords displayed as, but I can't find a way either. I'll ask our Visual Studio engineers about it and let you know.

There isn't a specifically "Fortran keyword" option but there is a Keyword option which does change the colour. Currently I have mine set to default (blue on white background) but just tried changing to another colour and it worked ok.

I have a couple of other options set to non-default colours (comments, Fortran compiler directives)

If you are going to make changes about the colors for keywords... I am stuck with fixed format (way too much legacy code), but I use the 132 extension. However, all of the syntax past column 72 (whether it is keywords or not) is colored gray or yellow because the color system assumes everything past 72 is a comment. This is rather annoying.

Thanks for your answer, Steve!

Well, it would be great if there was a cross-reference feature one day as it makes programming much more easier.
