Re: ViEmu stuck with XAML files

Hi,

I'm using VS2008 on Vista with silverlight alpha tools installed. Whenever I open a XAML file, I get the cursor indicating I'm in ViEmu's command mode. However, pressing any key works like I'm in insert mode (i.e. inserts the character). Backspace doesn't work, as if I'm indeed in command mode. There's no ViEmu bar at the bottom.

Pressing escape doesn't revert to command mode.

Forgot to add: I'm using version 2.1.13

Re: ViEmu stuck with XAML files

I've just tried creating both a WPF application and a Silverlight application (after installing Silverlight alpha tools for VS2008). ViEmu seems to just work fine with XAML files on both projects. I'm using XP, but I doubt that is the problem.

Do you have any other 3rd party add-in installed? The best would be if you could go to Help->About, click 'Copy info', and paste the results here for total completeness.

Regards,

Re: ViEmu stuck with XAML files

In the meantime, is there a quick shortcut to disable ViEmu when I'm editing XAML files?

Re: ViEmu stuck with XAML files

Ah ok, it's probably due to a Visual Assist interaction. I have a version of VAX installed that doesn't hook into VS2008, I'll download the latest version of VAX and try to repro it. If it's that, the solution is a simple fix away. I'll drop you a line as soon as I find out more.

Meanwhile, Ctrl-Shift-Alt-V should toggle ViEmu on/off at a single keystroke.

Re: ViEmu stuck with XAML files

Just to let you know that I've indeed been able to repro it using the latest build of Visual Assist. I have to add XAML's language service GUID to a certain list in ViEmu, so that ViEmu doesn't wait for Visual Assist to hook the window (as it won't). I'll most probably be able to fix it tomorrow. Check for more news here or on http://www.viemu.com/blog/.

Re: ViEmu stuck with XAML files

I've fixed this and uploaded a new build, ViEmu/VS 2.1.17. You need to manually uninstall the previous version before installing this one:

[ Update: I posted the details on the blog: http://www.viemu.com/blog/2007/12/07/viemu-and-visual-assist-under-vs2008/ ]
