RE: Update and summary of findings: Syntax highlighting, registry settings and Tools~Options~Editor settings

Hi Richard

I have tried setting RESOURCE OFF and it makes no difference - my code window is still showing the wrong colours.

Or just set resource off if you don't want to wipe out your resource file.

Just a WAG - if VFP is remembering something it will most likely be in foxuser.dbf - have you tried deleting that?

Hi everybody

I make no apologies for reposting under a different subject but I think it

is

necessary to avoid confusion. After carrying out a series of tests, and restarting VFP each time I make a change, I can summarise my findings as follows (what I expect is the settings I can see in the Registry Editor)

Summary

1. Sometimes my code window is not what I expect, but the sample code

window is what I expect and yet the colour dropdowns do not reflect either

(the

colour dropdowns do not even agree with the sample code window) 2. Sometimes my code window and the sample code window are both what I expect but the colour dropdowns do not reflect the same 3. Generally speaking the sample code window IS what I expect even when my code window and the colour dropdowns are NOT what I expect

I am wondering if VFP's highlighting in my code windows is "remembering" something from somewhere which is overriding the registry settings? The

only

thing I can seem to reply upon is the sample code window in the options dialog.

Any thoughts, comments or ideas will be highly appreciated. Many thanks.
