Hi all,
Emacs 22.2. which-function-mode does the right thing for Emacs Lisp
files and other modes that I don't remember off-hand, but not for
visual-basic-mode... nothing shows up in the mode line even after ESC-:
(which-function-mode 1). Any ideas?
Thanks --
David

Hmmm, `M-x apropos RET visual-basic RET' says:
No apropos matches for `visual-basic'

Right, I found visual-basic-mode somewhere on that internet thingy. I
took a look at which-func.el but it's not very clear how it figures out
the current function -- sort of looks like imenu magic. So how does
which-func work correctly for several programming modes but not
visual-basic-mode?
Thanks --

The first thing I see in which-func.el is that you'll need to add
visual-basic-mode to which-func-modes, and perhaps to
which-func-non-auto-modes.
If visual-basic-mode support imenu, then you should be good to go.
And if beginning-of-defun works in that mode, that might be good
enough.
Otherwise, you could try defining a function that returns the name
of the current function in visual-basic-mode, then assign that to
which-func-functions (actually, use add-hook with non-nil LOCAL arg).

Well, I looked at this some more, and it's looking more complicated than
I have time for. I was hoping that a simple answer existed (especially
since which-func is not exactly crucial).
Kevin, thanks for your effort on this.
