Title: [SOLVED]Custom Outlining
Post by: jaxxa on March 04, 2009, 04:52:41 am

Hi,
sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

I was wondering if CodeBlocks had a feature Create custom outlining sections.

Somthing similar to VB.NET's #REGION

Do you mean something like:

Code

//{ WHATEVER COMMENT
  ...your code...
//}

...which creates a collapsible region? Sorry if I misunderstood -> I don't know VB.NET's #REGION...?!

Yes that is what exactly I want.

However i just tried it and it does not seem to be working.
Just how it is with the // it seams to treat it as a comment seems to ignore the { and not create the collapsible box.

Then I remove the // and just have the "{" I get the collapsible box, that is what i want, but the program does not compile
"expected unqualified-id before '{' token"

Am I missing something? In there a setting that I need to change to enable this?

you can get it :

#if 1 //Test for region

//code


#endif

Make sure you have no space between the comment-slashes and the braces.

If that does not work out of the box, you have to check "Fold preprocessor commands" in "Settings -> Editor... -> Folding".

Thanks for all the help 8)
Just tried that at TAFE and both methods seem to be working,
will try again when I get home and check if it was just a PEBKAC* error.
