Introduction

While writing a project I got into many difficulties related to commenting. I solved these using the morefast add-In tool after implementing a little file/function commenting functionality. So I have made this little but useful add-in to help people who want to organize their code. I want to extend this add-in and have many ideas but due to time problems (which everyone has) I am posting only this three featured add-in.

There are three files.

• CppCWiz.dll
• Macro.txt
• CommTemp.txt

Extract these files in one directory.

How you can make a new macro:

1. First #@ sign.
2. Macroname Covered With $.
3. then = YOURSTRING
4. Last @#.
   e.g.
   #@ $UD_COMPANYNAME$ = Sahajanand Software Private Ltd. @#
   #@ $MyName$ = Manish Pansiniya @#
   

How can you make changes to the template:

	//
	// Default Template For File Comment Look Like This Look Like This.
	//
	[FILE COMMENT]
	/*******************************************************************
	 *                                     $FILENAME$
	 *******************************************************************
	 *	AUTHOR      : $AUTHOR$
	 *	PROJECT     : $PROJECT$	
	 *	DESCRIPTION : $ASKTOUSERDESCRIPTION$  
	 *  ----------------------------------------------------------------
	 *	Revision History :    
	 *  $DATE$  $USERNAME$    Initial Version.  
	 *	        
	 *  ----------------------------------------------------------------
	 *                         Copyright (c) 2002 $UD_COMPANYNAME$  
	 ******************************************************************/
	[~FILE COMMENT]
	

Now, you can see the macro with $ signs. These macros are defined in macro.txt. We saw that in the previous section. $FILENAME$ is my internal macro which you can't change.  Internal fixed macros:

	"$FILENAMEWPATH$" - FileName With Path
	"$FILENAME$"      - FileName
	"$SELECTION$"     - Current Selection In Workspace.
	"$PROJECT$"       - Project Name.
	"$AUTHOR$"        - Author Name. You must provide this in macro.txt.
	"$DATE$"          - Today's Date.

So you can't use these macros except author. You must define author macro in macro.txt file. Next macro is $ASKTOUSERDESCRIPTION$. If you want to ask any information from the user, then define ASKTOUSER and then your description, e.g.

	$ASKTOUSERFUNCTION
	$ASKTOUSERCHANGELOG etc.
