Hi,
When using bookmarks,is there a difference between C and C++? I'm able
to set bookmarks in a .cpp or .hpp file, but not in a .c or .h file.
What's the difference?

Well, you're correct Norbert in that it was a standard C++ project. But
the things you mentioned will be equally true for both a managed as well
as a standard C++ project.
It's anyhow weird such project treats .c files differently...
But ok, if that's the case, so be it, isn't it?
Thanks for your response.

At the root of this may be the fact that there are separate parsers for C and
C++. C is not a proper subset of C++ and there were many performance and
correctness issues that were solved when the parser was split in the 3.0 time frame.
