i know i'm in a minority,
but i do indent closing braces,
so i appreciate visual studio 6's "indent closing brace" option.
(options | tabs)
unfortunately, VA X overrides this option
with non-indented closing braces.
anyone know a work-around ?
orion

what are you doing? using VC6 and VAX 1418 i have just turned on this option and entered the rather "helpful" code:
while(1 < 2)
{
}
and the closing brace was left indented just as the IDE options said it should be.

hi, thanks for the reply.
aha:
the problem only happens when the opening brace is on the same line as the conditional.
eg
// typing "while (1 < 2) {<CR>" yields:
while (1 < 2) {
// cursor is here.
}
// whereas typing "while (1 < 2)<cr>{" yields:
while (1 < 2)
{// cursor is here
}
- so i guess it's not really overriding the VC6 setting,
since VC6 doesn't insert closing braces for you at all,
but it is ignoring the VC6 setting in that situation.

normally VAX tries to avoid getting involved in formatting your code, since everyone seems to have a different standard. do you find this happens often? or only with specific cases?
i am wondering if the best approach would be to set up some suitable autotext rules for things like "while" and "for". |

It happens with pretty much every control block i write.
It's true that everyone has a different code-formatting style,
but in this case VC6 has provided a perfectly good check-box which is being ignored.
Maybe i will look into auto-text for while, do, for, if, else, etc.
