What is the best way to use snippets in Visual C++ 2010? I know about Visual AssistX and love it, but I'd prefer some free solution. I read question: C++ snippet support in visual studio? , but there is no answer to my question.
You can always create a poor-man's snippet by writing a Visual Studio Macro (written in VBScript and utilizing some VS-provided APIs) to insert a certain block of code in your file.

Before deciding to download Visual Studio 2019, I just wanted to know whether a visual form designer is available that generates c++ code.
If not, does anyone know of an easy to use development environment that does?
Thanks.
I'm learning C++ but I have seen that Visual Studio has Visual C++. I searched about the difference but I haven't found anything satisfying.
The only thing I found was, that Visual C++ is a version of C++ but with more libraries. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
So I have two questions:
What's the difference between C++ and Visual C++?
And can I write normal C++ in Visual Studio? If I can't write normal C++ in Visual Studio, where do I write it the best in.
I want to try to make some small games.
C++ is a programming language and Visual C++ is a Microsoft's C++ compiler.
Visual C++: less portable, but has specialized libraries which may make you stick with Windows.
Is it possible to create visual basic(vb) windows form in c++ project in visual studio? and how?
thanks before.
btw, I'm using visual studio community 2015
No. In C++ projects you use C++ and in VB projects you use VB.
I have to make a program which can operate with Word documents (edit, view, create) and use C++ with Visual Studio 2013.
I have searched the net and found out VSTO is only available for Visual Basic and C#.
On the Microsoft site there is "How to create an automation project using MFC and a type library" here but seems it is written for very old versions of Visual Studio (like 5.0 and 6.0). When I reach the ninth step "Select the Automation tab." it seems there is no such tab in ClassWizzard in my version of Visual Studio.
Is there any way to perform automation with C++ in newer versions of Visual Studio like 2013?
I found a way here. Actually I am using the "import" method and it worked for me in console mode(COM method also worked, but it seems to me more complicated), I haven`t tested it for GUI yet. There is not C++ documentation, but can be used Visual Basic API with a bit thinking here.
I created 2 games using the visual studio 2010 for WP7 using XNA and when trying to create one using c++ in visual studio I dont know how to turn on the auto completion thing. When for example I wanted to write a function/variable, I just used to write the first 2 letters then choose it from the list. This helps me save time but I dont know how to turn this feature on when writing in c++
Best Regards
Sounds like you're using C++/CLI, since you said both C++ and XNA (.NET).
Visual Studio 2010 doesn't have Intellisense for C++/CLI. It should be added back in the next version, or you can buy Visual Assist X from Whole Tomato Software, which not only supports C++/CLI but does a better job on C# and native C++ as well.
If you don't intend to use .NET, you can get Intellisense working by turning off the /clr compiler option.
