Visual LISP Editor - Syntax Coloring (Visual LISP IDE)

Note: The Visual LISP IDE is available on Windows only.

On the Visual LISP Tools menu, on the Window Attributes submenu, the Syntax Coloring option determines the type of syntax coloring that will be used for the current file being edited. This option is available when you edit a file whose file type is not .lsp. When chosen, Syntax Coloring displays the Color Style dialog box, which provides the following options:

None

No color coding.

AutoLISP

Use AutoLISP syntax color coding. This color coding scheme is used for all files of type .lsp.

C++

Use C++ syntax color coding. This is the default for all files of type .cpp, .c++, .c, .hpp, .h++, and .h.

DCL

Use DCL syntax color coding. This is the default for all files of type .dcl.

SQL

Use SQL syntax color coding. This is the default for all files of type .sql.

If a file type does not have a default coloring style, the user is asked whether to use the selected coloring style for all files of the same type.

Note: All formatting and “smart” indentation features require the AutoLISP lexical coloring style.
