Visual Studio .NET- Old style member function wizard

Introduction

I switched from VS6 to VS7 and I wondered if it can be true that i can only add a member function by using the new "Add member function" Wizard. I searched for the sourcecode of the add member function wizard and found it in my Visual Studio directory in \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\VC7\VCWizards\MemFunctionWiz\HTML\default.html. I changed a few values and tested my changes in a new opened instance of VS7 and it worked. I added a checkbox, and changed a few things, and now I can enter a name of a function into the function name textbox like this "TestFunction(int nTest, BOOL bTest)", like good old VS6. It saves a lot of time. The checkbox exists to switch from old-style to new-style. If it is disabled I have to use the param list to define a new function.

1. Open the default.html in notepad.exe

2. Scroll to:

   <TR>
   <TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" HEIGHT="23" WIDTH="12">
    
   </TD>
   <TD VALIGN="TOP" HEIGHT="23">
   
   //Add this
   
   <input ID="CHECKBOXOLDSTYLE" type="checkbox" CHECKED>
   <LABEL FOR="CHECKBOXOLDSTYLE" 
   ID="OLDSTYLE_LABEL">Enter old-style function name</LABEL>
   //<-- end add
   
   
    
   </TD>
   <TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" HEIGHT="23" WIDTH="75">
   <BUTTON CLASS="BUTTONS" ID="FinishBtn" 
   onClick="OnFinish(document);">Fertig stellen</BUTTON>
   </TD>
   <TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" HEIGHT="23" WIDTH="4">
    
   </TD>
   <TD VALIGN="MIDDLE" HEIGHT="23" WIDTH="75">
   <BUTTON CLASS="BUTTONS" ID="CancelBtn" 
   onClick="window.external.Finish(document, 'cancel');">Abbrechen</BUTTON>

   If you save the default.htm and start a new instance of VS7, a checkbox appears on the bottom-left.

3. Scroll to:

   function Validate(obj)
   {
       try
       {
           var bValid = true;
           switch(obj.id)
           {
               case "FUNCTION_NAME":
               {
   // Change the code to:
   
                   var strNameWithParamList = "";
                   if( CHECKBOXOLDSTYLE.checked )
                   {
                       strNameWithParamList = FUNCTION_NAME.value;
                   }
                   else
                   {
                       strNameWithParamList = FUNCTION_NAME.value + "(" +
                                              strParameters + ")";
                   }
   // <- end change
   
                   window.external.AddSymbol("FUNCTION_FULLNAME", 
                                             strNameWithParamList);
                   bValid = window.external.ParentObject.ValidateMember.....

4. Save the file and try in VS7

5. Finished, now you can enter a member function the old way.
