VBA Support for VS Code

We power the syntax highlighting on GitHub for VBA and VB6!

• Syntax highlighting for
  • VBA
  • VB6
• Comprehensive snippets
• Support for some niche BASIC dialects (community maintained):
  • WinWrap Basic (WWB)

For technical details about the languages and grammars, see the docs.

Available snippets (all languages):

• If
• ElseIf
• Else
• Sub
• Function

By default, .bas, .cls and .frm files open as VBA.

To treat them as VB6 instead, add a .vscode/settings.json to your project:

{
  "files.associations": {
    "*.bas": "vb6",
    "*.cls": "vb6",
    "*.frm": "vb6"
  }
}

Your help is highly appreciated!
