Hi everyone,

How do I set the visibility of a member in managed c++ to internal (I'm used
to using it in C#, but can't find in C++.NET)

Thanks,

Signature

Tom Tempelaere.

Hey,

#define __internal public private

Perhaps not very good style in regular C++, but a lot easier to know the
visibility. I know that two leading underscores is a no-go in standard C++,
but I'm not very fond of mixing visibility (access-) specifiers (it's plain
ugly I think).

Cheers,
Tom Tempelaere.

Now if only I could get the '__internal' to show up in blue in my source
code, like other managed C++ keywords (like __sealed and __gc)...

This is not something that I have tried so take what follows with a grain of
salt.

This was possible with VC++ 6.0. When I searched the MSDN, I found
instructions for the old IDE and this link:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vsintro7/html/v
xtskDefiningKeywordsInVisualC.asp?frame=true

which I think applies to VS.Net 2005.

I don't know if it works with the current version. Perhaps one of the MS
guys will set us straight.

Regards,
Will

internal keyword works on whidbey. there is no leading __ stuff (i.e.
not __internal).

class A
{
internal:
void f(){}
}

when you write "public private" or "private public", compiler generates
a warning saying that "public private is deprecated, use internal".
intellisense on beta1 does not highlight internal keyword with blue
color like it does on public, private or other reserved words.
