Macro's

[rifter1818]

Hi i was wondering where i could find some good tutorials covering VS 2003 maro editor. The thing i am wondering how to do with macros (now there will be more questions) is what event do i code so that i can add text whenever a .h file is created. for example if i wanted every header file created to start with

#ifndef [headername]_[iD]
#define [headername]_[iD]

#endif

and yes i know that you can use things like #pragma once, and im pretty sure theres a command line option that can be set in VS2003 but more important that just this use is how to do it, and where i can find easy to read help on coding the macros.

I would assume that others probably would find this usefull too.

Also on a side note over a year ago i found a macro (theres a link on this forum somewhere) that minimized all of the code when you loaded a project, if someone could post the link again or the code for the macro that'd be great.

Thanks in advance.

I'm having trouble finding any usefull Tutorials...

 

I think the thread you are looking for might be this one:

 

http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/showthread.php?t=82454

 

The code therein confuses me however, for:

 

(1) There is a WindowEvents_WindowCreated() Event that Handles WindowEvents.WindowCreated, howevever, there is no 'WithEvets' variable or AddHandler contruct that is calling it.

 

(2) It looks like the following should generate a RTE, for myWindow = Nothing when myWindow.Count is accessed:

Dim myWindow As Window
While myWindows.Count > 0

However, I know almost nothing about VS Macros, and so maybe I just don't understand how they work? Not sure.

 

Hope this helps...

A quick follow up... I just tested on the VB.Net 2005 Beta, and the Outlining is preserved in the 2005 version. :) I would assume the same for C# 2005, but I've not tried...
