azur	Posted - Jan 13 2012 : 10:42:43 AM Here is a example: CString strTool = "VAssistX" BYTE nOurLicense = GetLicenseCount( strTool ); If our company grow a 'little bit' I have to adjust the variable. So I doubleklick BYTE, type "UL", and choose "ULONGLONG" - and lost my nice formating: CString strTool = "VAssistX" ULONGLONG nOurLicense = GetLicenseCount( strTool ); I have to delete the surplus spaces. The same happens if I use "int" instead of "ULONGLONG" - I had to add one space.

feline	Posted - Jan 17 2012 : 3:15:06 PM Unfortunately this just confirms that code formatting is quite a complex area, since no matter how many options you add, there are always likely to be requests for even more. Hopefully you can get somewhere using the IDE macro as a start point.
azur	Posted - Jan 17 2012 : 02:43:18 AM Yes, there are many options but especially I miss 2 options: At first: a Parameter on a new line begins with a comma. That's a little bit unusual but have some advantage. CString GetDisplayName // get the display name ( const CString & i_strSurename // the surename , const CString & i_strFirstname // the firstname , const CString & i_strTile // the title ); // "[Title ] Surename [,Firstname] At second: Declaration with assignment can only be aligned on name or assignment and not on both. CString strTool = "VAssistX" BYTE nOurLicense = 42; Thanks for the hint to "Great Code". It has also many options but it is a command line tool. The first thing to spring to mind is that you can't format only a marked part in a source file.
feline	Posted - Jan 16 2012 : 10:11:24 AM It is interesting that StyleManager did not have all the features you need, it seems to have quite a few options. Another code formatting tool that I have come across is GC, Great Code, http://sourceforge.net/projects/gcgreatcode/ Which might be worth a look. From memory it takes a bit of setting up, but seems quite powerful.
azur	Posted - Jan 16 2012 : 03:01:46 AM I see the point. I have tested the "StyleManager" but unfortunately he don't have the key features I need. Thank you for the hint to "LineEmUp". This can be a start for my own macro.
feline	Posted - Jan 13 2012 : 1:02:03 PM Unfortunately we don't have any current plans to try and do this, since this gets us into code formatting, which is a very complex area, partly due to the vast number of different options you need to make everyone happy. You might want to look into this commercial tool for code formatting: http://www.profactor.co.uk/stylemanager.php I have never used it myself, but it sounds promising from its website. Alternatively, in the VS2010 sample IDE marco's, in the VSEditor section, there is a macro called "LineEmUp" which should help with reformatting your code after an edit.
