Hi! Has anyone here coded a plugin for visual studio 2003?
Does anyone know of any open source project plugin that extends the watch window?

thanks
What do you mean "extends" the watch window? If you mean adds custom types, you can do that already by editing autoexp.dat in the SharedIDE/bin folder inside MSVC's install dir.

Yes, add custom types, that is what I want to do.
But the type I want do be able to browse is quite advanced.
It's a hierarchal property container implemented using a hiearchy of
std::map

Nodes in the std::map can either be named variants or other std::map ( to make it hierarchal )

Do you think this can be done by editing autoexp.dat?


thanks

So instead of having to browse the std::maps which is a pain
I want a more simple view. Something like this

<container="root", name_hash=32545346, size=3>    <variant="size", int, 10>    <variant="width", int, 45>    <container="monkey", name_hash=54456754, size=1>         <variant="type", string, gorilla>    </monkey></root>


Do you think this is possible?

Expression Evaluator Add-In for visual studio seems to be more what I need.
Do you know if it exists for visual studio 2003?
