C# VB.NET VB6 VBA
The Insert Header feature allows you to add a header (XML or standard) to the current file or item (class, property, method, etc.) from customizable templates that can use predefined variables (whose value is assigned automatically by MZ-Tools, such as file name, method name, author, etc.) or user-defined variables (whose value is asked when the header is inserted).
MZ-Tools offers the following ways to insert a header:
- The MZ-Tools | Insert Header menu.
- The Insert Header button on the MZ-Tools - Main toolbar.
- In Visual Studio 2015 and higher, the keyboard shortcut associated with the MZTools.InsertCodeElementHeader command.
- In Visual Studio 2013 and lower, the keyboard shortcut associated with the MZTools8.InsertCodeElementHeader command.
- In VB6 / VBA, the keyboard shortcut associated with the Insert Header feature.
If you have created more than one header applicable to the current item, a window is shown to allow you to select the header to use (otherwise the only applicable header is inserted directly):
To add a header to a file, the cursor position must be at line number 1 of the file.
To add a header to any other item kind (subroutine, function, enum, field, UDT, etc.) the cursor position can be:
- At some line inside the item, if it has a body.
- At the line of the declaration.
- At the first line above the declaration, if that line is empty.
You can customize the templates in the Options window, Team Options tab, Headers section.
