For example
$Type$ m_$name$;
const $Type$& $name$() const {return m_$name$;}
void set$Name$(const $Type$& $name$) {m_$name$ = $name$;}
In the dialog, only need the user to input $name$. $Name$ can be derived from $name$ with a upper case letter leading. Thanks.

So long as you are using a recent build of VA you can already do this. The sample VA Snippet code:
// lower name = m_$name_Lower$
// upper name = m_$name_Upper$
// entered name = m_$name$
shows how to do this. To produce the camel case effect enter "Name" when prompted, since the _Upper and _Lower modifiers make the string entirely upper or lower case. |

Thank you. I tried but cannot make it no matter whether I input "name" or "Name". The "_Lower" is entirely lower case, while the "_Upper" is entirely the upper case. How to get camel case?
The feature may be extended by introducing
"_Upper_All"
"_Upper_First"
"_Lower_All"
"_Lower_First"
Thanks. |

Given my snippet, when prompted, type "Feline" into the dialog, this will then insert the code:
// lower name = m_feline
// upper name = m_FELINE
// entered name = m_Feline
It turns out two further modifiers have also been added, "_Camel" and "_Pascal", which are designed to help with camel case. "_Camel" upper cases the FIRST letter ONLY, and "_Pascal" lower cases the FIRST letter ONLY. Neither tries to identify word boundaries.
So you could have the snippet:
// lower name = m_$name_Lower$
// upper name = m_$name_Upper$
// camel name = m_$name_Camel$
// pascal name = m_$name_Pascal$
// entered name = m_$name$
which should give you a good range of options. |

Slight correction: Pascal makes first character Upper and camel makes first character lower.

Hi,
I have a sorta related question. I use this convention:
int someSymbol_;
inline int someSymbol() const { return someSymbol_; }
void setSomeSymbol(int symbol) { someSymbol_ = symbol; }
I can *almost* do this with the snippet except it generates SomeSymbol() instead of someSymbol(). Not a big problem but there's this single letter that I need to fix every time :)
Would it be possible to add the _Camel and _Pascal modifiers to the built-in variables like $GeneratedPropertyName$?
I tried to use $GeneratedPropertyName_Camel$ but it prompts for an input for GeneratedPropertyName which is of course not what I want. |

This makes sense, we are considering adding this ability:
case=66480
Unfortunately I don't currently have an estimate for when this will be done. |

Use $generatedPropertyName$
It generates the same property name as $GeneratedPropertyName$ except that first letter is lower-case.
