Dynamics AX 6.0 - aka 2011 - X++ Editor
I saw on twitter today, a link to a blog post done in October of last year now, about some screen shots of the Dynamics AX 6.0, aka Dynamics AX 2011, X++ editor.
Here is the direct link to that blog post.:
Vincent's Blog - Dynamics AX6 – The new X++ editor

From the post.:
"This editor is based on the same framework than the Visual Studio editor... ...The line numbering and the gradient marking are the first visible signs of a new UI. The rendering is WPF based, so that gives some opportunities for cool graphics."

And...
"Things to notice, that are new relatively to the existing editor are:
-Support for multiple fonts and styles (comments are in a different font in italic).
-Differentiated coloring of strings and numbers.
-Operators coloring (in pink here, but don’t worry I’ll most likely change it before we release !).
-Change tacking margin."
So it looks like we have some good updates coming to the X++ editor, including being based on WPF rendering. This means, a move more and more to Visual Studio?? Possibly having X++ editor, be a part of Visual Studio in the next couple of releases?
I thought this was a good post, and though it's from October, I have not seen these anywhere else yet, so good stuff to note.
It also seems that the following.: multiple methods in the same window, outlining, screen split, comment away multiple lines, snippets, Ctrl+Space to complete partly written code.. etc.
Are in the works as well, which makes X++ editor more and more like Visual Studio.
That's all for now, thanks Vincent for sharing!
