Html is off. [quote][i]Originally posted by Legendweaver[/i] [br]One of the enormous shortcomings of Visual Studio is the limited options to control auto-formatting of code, especially compared to Netbeans and Eclipse. For example, Netbeans includes control of indentation, alignment, wrapping of lines, extra lines between blocks, etc. A file or project can be reformatted into an entirely new format with a single command. I realize that VAX uses Visual Studio's built-in formatting commands, and that building such a system from scratch would be an enormous undertaking, but on the other hand, I think it would substantially increase the value that VAX offers. Regardless, even if these kind of massive changes are not available, it would be great to have some of these controls when VAX formats code that it introduces - for example, when using refactor->extract method, VAX puts * and & next to variable names, rather than next to the type names, ie: void example(const Box2i &frameExtent, const Box2i *fillExtent) as opposed to void example(const Box2i& frameExtent, const Box2i* fillExtent) Given that the second is my prefered style, it would be nice to have an option to select it.
