c++ - VS 2013 Community - Creating code snippets -


i have been following this: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165394.aspx?f=255&mspperror=-2147217396

i'm trying make code snippet speed coding (#procrastination)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <codesnippets     xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2005/codesnippet">   <codesnippet format="1.0.0">     <header>       <title>class layout platformgameengine</title>     </header>     <snippet>       <code language="c++">         <![cdata[           namespace platformgameengine           {               class _               {               // methods               public:                   _();                   ~_();               private:                // properties               public:                private:                }           }         ]]>       </code>     </snippet>   </codesnippet> </codesnippets>

1. why following code snippet not working?

the snippet files chosen not valid.

2. how can replace _ part ability tab through fields , fill them out?

found example visual studio snippet manager:

c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio 12.0\vc\snippets\1033\visual c++

i can see class example had missing stuff:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <codesnippets     xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2005/codesnippet">   <codesnippet format="1.0.0">     <header>       <title>class layout platformgameengine</title>       <shortcut>gameengineclass</shortcut>     </header>     <snippet>       <declarations>         <literal>           <id>name</id>           <tooltip>class name</tooltip>           <default>myclass</default>         </literal>       </declarations>       <code language="cpp">         <![cdata[#pragma once          // boiler plate includes            // project specific includes            // namespaces            namespace platformgameengine         {             class $name$             {             // methods             public:                           $name$();                           ~$name$();             private:              // properties             public:              private:              }         }]]>       </code>     </snippet>   </codesnippet> </codesnippets>
  • removed spacing after cdata[...
  • added shortcut node header
  • added declarations id section allow typing in stuff

note:

  • you have keep re-importing changes make individual snippet... if add entire folder, not have this.
  • you can use ctrl+k , h while continuing hold down ctrl use snippet. start typing shortcut , pops up
  • to remove code snippets, must remove entire folder , re add folder... #really?
  • if definition not appearing... example: $classname$::$classname, try placing <default>myclass</default> in... seems force work
