Enabling/Disabling Dynamic Syntax Checking Options in the Text Editor

Within the development environment, you can enable or disable the editor's dynamic syntax checking options.

To enable dynamic syntax checking options

1. On the Tools menu, click Options to display the Options dialog box.
   
   
2. From the tree view in the leftmost pane of the Options dialog box, expand the Text Editor node by clicking the plus ("+") sign next to it.
   
   
3. Select Java Tasks to display the property page for Tasks and Error display.
   
   
4. In the Tasks group of this property page, click the check box for Check syntax as you type.
   
   
5. In the Error Display group of the property page, click the check box for Underline syntax errors as you type.

Visual J++ enables these dynamic syntax checking options by default.

Note   Clearing the check box for Check syntax as you type or Underline syntax errors as you type disables the respective option.
