I'm converting a bunch of Windows MFC code to Unicode and it sure would be nice to have the _T() autotext option directly on this menu instead of invoking the Insert Autotext submenu.

My apologies if this has been asked before; a couple of quick forum searches didn't turn up anything.

Regards,

David

I've found this to be helpful:
Create an autotext item with a shortcut of tcc and make the body:
_T($clipboard$)

Now to convert a string literal: select it, copy it and then type tcc and accept the autotext suggestion.

I wrote a macro to do this and tied it to Ctrl-T. Here it is:

Sub UnicodeMacro()
   'DESCRIPTION: Puts a _T(  ) around the selection
    Dim textSelection As TextSelection

    textSelection = ActiveDocument().Selection
    textSelection.Text() = "_T( " + textSelection.Text() + " )"
End Sub

Interesting, many thanks for this. It is about time I started learning about IDE macro's and things like this are a good place to start
