Could you suggest a GUID as auto complete tooltip whenever the uuid attribute is typed in attributed COM programming?

This looks like so:

[
uuid("00000000-1111-2222-3333-444444444444"),
object, dual
]
__interface IMyInterface
{
// ...
};

So when I typed uuid(" I have to create a GUID manually with an external tool. Instead I would like VAX to create the GUID on the fly.

Bye,

Not saying that autogen in Visual Assist wouldn't be cool but the following can be accomplished with the macro code:

Sub NewGuid()
DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString()
End Sub

and assigning this to a keystroke

Thanks for the idea - not really intellisense but it does the job. Biggest difficulty was to find a meaningful and available shortcut in VS.Net :)

Nevertheless I am still hoping and voting for a GUID intellisense enhancement in VAX.

It would be nice, especially if you template alot of this code therefore you could have a template to do the whole thing and not have to go back and generate a GUID yourself. I just felt your pain and wanted to give you an asprin until you get this awesome feature in VA!
