Macro in IDE

[Francois Soucy]

Hi All,

I would like to know if it's possible to fire a event whenever I add
a new class file to my project? What I want is to automate the process of
adding some region and header comment to each new file that I add to my
project. It's possible? If yes can you give me a direction?

Give you an example:
In the Project Menu I add a class and name it Something.vb
The the "macro event" will add these thing automaticly:

'********************
'Francois
' 50/05/2005
'
'This class do some things
'*********************

Public Class Something

#region "Declaration"
#end region

#region "Methodes"
#end region

....and so on

end class





Thank
Francois

Sorry for my english

Francois,

Why would you do something generic in the design time of your program, when
you can do it at runtime instead. (I know one reason, however that is in my
opinion spending time with nothing).

I am curious what it can be

I don't know How I could do something like I want in runtime? It make no
sense for me. Ken Tucker show me a good solution.

Hi Francois,

In the Macros IDE, open the EnvironmentEvents and use the
DocumentEvents_DocumentOpened event. You must cast Document to TextDocument,
guess if the document is new or not and if it is new, then use something
like TextDocument.StartPoint.CreateEditPoint.Insert(myheader)

Another approach is to edit the template used by VS.NET, as described in my
KB article pointed by Ken.

Also, my add-in (below) allows you to do that with a single mouse click or
keystroke, and another feature allows you to verify that each file has a
compliant header.
