Is there a way to import Eclipse keyboard shortcuts into visual C++ ? I am being forced to use this in my work and I miss my shortcuts.
If not then can you guys help me figure out these shortucts
Quick Outline View of the code: C-O in eclipse
Type Hierarchy : C-S-T in eclipse
Call Hierarchy : C-H in eclipse
Find all the references of a word
QuickFix : C-1 in eclipse
Import all packages : C-S-O
Format all : C-S-F in eclipse
Move Lines : Alt+ Arrow
Thanks a lot!
I went through the same thing as you but on Visual Studio 2008. All I can say is that the experience was not fun. While I know Microsoft has upgraded the C++ intellisense in Visual Studio 2010, I don't know how much they improved the editor.
My recommendation is to just skip the headache and get Visual Assist. It provides all the Eclipse features you want and then some.
I have been using NavitageToTest, DPack and Productivity Power Tools, which works well. Using those two I have managed to configure these:
QuickFix , Ctrl + 1 ,- View.ShowSmartTag
Quick Access , Ctrl + 3 , View.QuickAccess
Open Type, Ctrl+Shift+T - DPack.Solution browser
Open Resource , Ctrl+Shift+R - DPack.File browser
Call Hierarchy , Ctrl+Alt+H , View.Callhiearchy
Quick Outline , Ctrl+O , DPack.Code browser.All
Previous member, Ctrl+Shift+Up, Dpack.CodeNavigator.Prev
Next member, Ctrl+Shift+Down, Dpack.CodeNavigator.Next
Jump to test file (and back), Ctrl+J, NavigateToTestFile

I have tried to run a c++ program in visual studio 2015 environment ,but it doesn't work and it shows me this pop-up window ( Unable to start program 'C:\Path...' . The system cannot find the file specified. ) .
I work with c# language in visual studio 2015 and it's fine , but with c++ it's not . There is 'Local Windows Debugger' button instead of ' Start' button .
I hope I could explain my problem and I hope you help me .
thank you in advance .
Create a new project with only ASCII letters in the project name and only ASCII letters in the source file name (e.g. mytest.cpp).
Visual Studio 2015 does not install C++ support by default. You have to select it in the Custom setup. See this blog post.
This was a partial step towards the 'new setup experience' in Visual Studio 2017 and later that's a lot less confusing and does a better job of keeping the disk footprint down to the portion that the developer actually needs. That said, the "UWP workload" also doesn't include C++ tools by default, you have to add "C++ tools for UWP" if targeting UWP with C++.
After a long time of searching , finally I found the solution to my problem in someone comment on Youtube .
This is the quotation of the comment :
"
if you didnt install C++ tools or it doesnt show up in your project menu: Go to control panel-> click change on microsoft visual studio -> click modify -> select c++ under languages " .
Thank you all :) ,,
When I open a C++ project created recently on Visual Studio 2015 I am able to debug it and have it run, but the code window is blank. I've clicked all around and can not find anything to show me the code so I can continue to work on it.
I have tried:
F7: View Code does not work.
Opening from the Solution Explorer window does not do anything.
Searching Google, Stack Exchange, and YouTube tutorials for my identical problem.
I suspect it is a very straightforward misunderstanding of the interface on my part, but wanted to get involved on Stack Exchange to figure it out.

Fixed with the following for me.
Change 'Color Theme' to something other that what you have.
Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Color theme:
Select OK then exit Visual Studio.
Open project and should see your source.
Please clear Visual Studio Cache, then open the Visual Studio again.
You can find cache folder on follwing path
C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\<VS_version>\ComponentModelCache
Note : Close Visual Studio, and stop all Visual Studio processes.
First, let me show you what I have..
Visual Studio Community 2015 installed with customization as follows..
Windows 10 Home (x64)
I tried creating C++ project with Win32 and standard C++11 support but I couldn't find any under "File > New > Project > Installed > Templates > Visual C++ > Windows". (Universal Windows App is the only option here ...)
I wish that the subpaths under my "File > New > Project > Installed > Templates > Visual C++ > Windows" have all three items that Visual C# and Basic already have underneath ("Universal", "Windows 8", "Classic Desktop"). To be more specific, I wish my "Visual C++ > Windows" to look like this..
I know that I can code Win32/C++ using "Universal Windows Apps" template but Win32 support is limited and it comes with bunch of .Net stuff that I don't need. Please don't get me wrong, I do love .Net and WPF and I myself was once a C# programmer (WinForm in particular) and I think of .Net to be the future of Windows development but right now I need to start with empty project with Win32/C++ support.
Is this problem confined to Community version only? (anyone tried VS2015 Pro/Ent ? please let me know)
EDIT:
Definitely can't be a solution to this problem.. but I found that I can circumvent the problem as below:
Here's how it works. Instead of searching for templates in "Installed > Visual C++ > Windows", I just go to "Installed > Samples > Visual C++ > Desktop" and Hurray! I see a Win32 "C++ UTF-8 Conversion Helpers" sample. I'll just use it to create projects and then discard anything unnecessary to make it empty. One hell of a pathetic approach just to get an empty C++ project :(
EDIT:
I posted the same question on Microsoft Developer Network. After another day of trials and errors, this is the furthest I went. Still no sign of "Classic Desktop" under C++
Finally, I found an answer to this problem....
I was so stupid to keep on launching vs-community using the wrong shortcut.
If you want to see all the C++ templates (including win32,MFC,ATL,...), you must use the shortcut "Visual Studio 2015" not the "Blend for Visual Studio 2015" (screenshot)
There are two shortcuts after you install Visual Studio Community 2015.
As you see, they each point to the different target.
So you need to use the shortcut that runs "devenv.exe" not the "Blend.exe".
But its strange that the first launch after the ISO installation launches "devenv.exe" but the web installer(vs_community.exe) launches "Blend.exe".
I guess I'm the only one here who made such a stupid mistake.
May be I should delete this question if not so many find it useful.
I had the same problem, however, the only way i was able to get win32 c++ was to install the c++ packages.
Im using MS visual studio 2010 PRoofessional version , and in both languages I'm using (C++ and UnrealScript with Nfringe ) there seems to be no auto complete , also with the nfringe there is no auto indentation either .
I was wondering how to fix this?
Most probably you accidentally switched into low-impact IntelliSense mode by pressing
CTRL+ALT+SPACE Just hit CTRL+ALT+SPACE to go back to the IntelliSense mode.
Are you writing a totally unmanaged C++ dll? There is no intellisense support for CLI/C++ projects in VS 2010
I have actually problems with C++ and Intellisense since VC6...
We now use Whole Tomatoes "Visual Assist" and it repairs Intellisense. :-) This single feature is the money worth.
When you open the solution file, do you get a warning about being unable to open the IntelliSense database? If so, that's the reason—UnrealEngine intentionally has a directory with the same name as the IntelliSense database to prevent its creation (Visual Studio can't create a file if a directory of the same name already exists). The engine code base is so large that having IntelliSense enabled slows everything to a crawl when you're editing code.
I'm also using Unreal Engine, and I met the same problem before, the solution was set the dirs by myself in VS project setting.
Open the property window of ur game project(e.g UDKGame), navigate to "NMake", "Include Search Path", and fill the needed header search path there.
You may copy the path list from the output of UnrealBuildTool.
The values u set here is only used by Visual Studio's IntelliSense, so there's no need to worry about build error.
This only works for C++, I'm not sure what's wrong with Unreal Script. I just updated to Visual Studio 2010 and has not installed the new nFringe.
Hope this answer is not too late
i've been googling before posting this but i havent been able to find anything on the topic.. yet i dont think its a very tricky one so please forgive for posting :o).
for a new job i am getting into C++, and following some tutorials. in particular one is about MFC, it shows how to create a project , selecting MFC application and so on. So, i installed Visual C++ Express 2010 on both a vista and a Win 7, and both time i had the same issue: when i go to new project , I have no "MFC" menu . some screenshots from that tutorial , and from some other on Visual C++ 2010 clearly show that it can be there. to be more specific, on corner left I have "installed templates" , then "Visual C++" and "CLR", Win32" and "General" , no MFC.
as these are "installed templates", i guess i should have to install it, but i found no clear indication on the topic; from what i found it should more or less be there from the beginning ... i also found a way to add MFC DLL through creating a Win32 application, but it doesnt seem its exactly the same thing .. I spent also some time on the menus of Visual C++ but did not find any clear way to add new templates like in Eclipse...
Well, I hope I made myself clear, i think this is pretty basic but if anyone could give me a hand on that one i'd greatly appreciate.
Cheers
Vincent
Visual Studio C++ Express does not support creating MFC applications.
If you don`t mind the leaking of unicode support, you can downlaod the visual studio 2013 express for desktop and install the free mfc mbcs supportfrom microsoft.com
