The Select Case / Switch Assistant for Enums feature allows you to quickly create the block of Case statements for an enum expression.
MZ-Tools offers the following ways to show the Select Case / Switch Assistant:
- The MZ-Tools | Select Case / Switch Assistant for Enums... menu.
- The MZ-Tools | Select Case / Switch Assistant for Enums... context menu of a code window.
- The Select Case / Switch Assistant for Enums button on the MZ-Tools toolbar.
- The keyboard shortcut associated with the MZTools6_VSXXXX.SelectCaseOrSwitchAssistant command.
When you type a statement such as:
[C#]
switch (objColumnHeader.TextAlign)
[VB.NET]
Select Case objColumnHeader.TextAlign
and you invoke this assistant the following window is shown:
In this window, you can choose the values of the enum expression which require a separate Case statement. If you leave enum values not selected, a default (C#) or Case Else (VB.NET) statement is added.
You can also select if you want to use full names for the enum values or not.
