Hi, It would be nice if we can get more programming support for ACSIL development. Notepad++ have many built-in support such as autocomplete, syntax highlighting, syntax formatting. It would be nice if SC can provide such files together with Notepad++ in future builds of Sierra Chart. Or if you know of some user contributed files that would be great as well. Please consider. Thanks Kim |

Some resources: https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/auto-completion/#automatic-completion <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <NotepadPlus> <AutoComplete language="C++"> <Environment ignoreCase="no" startFunc="(" stopFunc=")" paramSeparator="," terminal=";" additionalWordChar = "."/> <KeyWord name="abs" func="yes"> <Overload retVal="int" descr="Returns absolute value of given integer"> <Param name="int number" /> </Overload> </KeyWord> </AutoComplete> </NotepadPlus> |

Hi, For those looking for a good solution and find this post, I suggest this. 1. Install Visual Studio Code (I recommend the system version rather than the user version): https://code.visualstudio.com/download# 2. Install C++ complier (I recommend build tools for Visual Studio - do get the latest version): https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_BuildTools.exe 3. After you install the build tools a dialog box pops up. Install the C++ work environment 4. Open VS Code and install the C/C++ Extensions Pack 5. Open the ACS_Source folder in VS Code... and there you have everything you need. |
