Maybe you have an entry for "*.inc" in another languages filemask (it's used for pascal on my system), that is tested before the c/c++ filemask.
Thanks Jens and Morten Macfly.
Of course this was it. I must have been temporarily in sain since I did not think of that!
But hey - at the end of the day I am just a HW engineer now also doing some SW with a very nice and flexible editor :-)
And yes it was the Pascal highlighting shadowing my addition to the C/C++ file mask.
You may want to remove it from the lexer file as well then... for a "safer" feeling. ;-) This is most likely it.
Excuse my CB newbee questions but I suppose I do that by removing the *.inc part from the line: filemasks="*.pas,*.inc"> in the file lexer_pascal.xml (and any other lexer_xyz.xml file with *.inc in the file mask). Correct?
Thanks again. I really appreciate your help.
Now I just need to figure how to re-compile dmoores ShellExtensions plugin to run with the nightly (binary is complaining about SDK mismatch => plugin not loaded) and I will be back on track with an updated version of my new toy CB.
