format command suddenly not available

Howdy

Just wondering if anyone here has had the format command become unavailable. I've read up on others with the same problem using VS 8 thru 10 but none of those fixes worked for me. 

The reason I'm asking here is that this problem may have begun at about the same time I officially purchased Visual Micro for ATMEL 6.1.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Thanks

Hi,

I am not sure what is meant by "format command". Please explain a little more. 

Thanks

Hi Tim,

Its the Ctl+K Ctl+D.... so your program is nicely presented... i.e. all the brackets are indented correctly etc.  Go to edit-advanced... you'll see format document and format selection. Both of these went missing Sad

Right now I'm reinstalling 6.1. I also uninstalled all versions of express and the old trial of VS '12. to see if I can get 6.1 to work.

I'll let you know what I find

Bill

Hi Bill,

These are standard functions of C++ which Visual Micro has not control over. I know that when you install VS it asks what layout you would like C#, Web, Vb, C++ etc. which I guess simply ensures certain menu items by default.

You might find that, as with all vs commands, you can add these to menus manually using the "customize" options on menus and command bars.

Alternatively the Tools>Options window has a Reset button which might also work.

Sorry I don't have more experience of this but will take a look if it continues to frustrate.

As far as Atmel is concerned, there are two downloads available, one with the VS shell and one without. I am keen to know which you downloaded? There should be little difference but these issues seem VS shell related.

Thanks

Tim
