Useful UE4 Visual Studio extensions.

Type this into the visdev editor:

UFUNCTION( Category="foo", BlueprintCallable )
void foobar();

(the spaces separating the () and parameters to the macro are important)

select it Ctrl-C to copy immediately Ctrl-V to paste it back in place.

Result:

UFUNCTION(Category="foo", BlueprintCallable)
    void foobar();

the spaces in the parameters to the UFUNCTION are the problem - the macro is reformatted, and the function declaration is indented. If the spaces aren't there, the paste-in-place works as expected and no reformatting occurs.

If you don't paste it in place, it also formats correctly - the spaces are removed but the function declaration is not indented.

Fantastic extension - works great when typing new code.

However, when copy-and-pasting a block of code, the Smart Indent still kicks in and it indents the line below those tags again. Any chance you could add a fix for that, too?

Thanks again!

As the title suggests, having something like this:

UFUNCTION() void SomeFun()

...and typing ; in the end, nothing would happen. Disabling the extension it works as intended.

Thanks again for extension, hopefully this isn't a huge issue to fix!

With the following code:

USTRUCT()
struct FFoo
{
    GENERATED_USTRUCT_BODY()

    UPROPERTY()
    int32 Bar;
};

Select it all and copy-paste it to a new location. Result:

USTRUCT()
struct FFoo
{
    GENERATED_USTRUCT_BODY()

        UPROPERTY()
        int32 Bar;
};

Any copy-paste action, whether or not a UE tag is involved, results in the cursor moving to the end of the line. This is ok if the entire line is being copied, but if a selection is being pasted into the middle of a line, the normal behavior of VisDev (and Windows in general) is for the cursor to remain at the end of the selection after the paste operation.

An error window pops up upon import of vcmd file.

Window Title:

[Visual Commander] Import

Window message:

"The is an error in XML document (0,0)."

Thanks for the extension and help!

Paste is always moving the cursor to the end of the line, instead of preserving the cursor's place. This isn't the behavior you want when pasting in the middle of an existing line of text.

UE_LOG macros don't need special handling as there is a semicolon after them, and this was causing odd behavior with removing lines below UE_LOG.

Paste this:

    USTRUCT()
    struct FStruct
    {
        GENERATED_BODY()

        UPROPERTY()
        FString Variable;
    };

Gets this:

    USTRUCT()
    struct FStruct
    {
        GENERATED_BODY()

            UPROPERTY()
            FString Variable;
    };

Hi Thanks for this extension. It will help me a lot.

I just have one remark. It does not work yet on Code Snippets.

I don't know if you know this functionnality, it's in Tools/Code Snippet Manager, it allows you to make Visual Studio know your most common code parts and automatically write them. I did this for several types of my UPROPERTY, but even with this extension, the tab will still be inserted after UPROPERTY. I think this would be a great improvement of this extension to enable this too.

I looked a bit in your code, I guess the "insert snippet" command is a command event like Paste, but I didn't find it yet and I don't really understand where to look for that. Any clue ?

Have a good one.

`USTRUCT() struct FFoo { GENERATED_USTRUCT_BODY()

    UPROPERTY()
    int32 Bar;

};`

Select the UPROPERTY() and Bar declaration, hit shift-Tab to un-indent, then click elsewhere. Both are re-indented.

It only misbehaves if the selection spans an EOLN - selecting just the UPROPERTY() or just the Bar decl work fine.

Hitting escape instead of clicking off the selection is a workaround.
