Is there a way for CVI to automaticly format my code based on the "Bracket Styles" settings I have selected?

[Randy_JCI]

I am looking for more debugging oppertunities and I would like an automated way to format my code for my "standard" bracket styles based on the settings that I have selected. Would others be interested in this capability?

EXAMPLE, THIS:
int example(int test1, int test2)
{
if(test1 == test2)
{
if(test1 < 0)
return(-1);
else
return(0);
}
else
return(0);
}

WOULD CONVERT TO THIS:
int example(int test1, int test2)
{
if(test1 == test2)
{
if(test1 < 0)
return(-1);
else
return(1);
}
else
return(0);
}

Whilst it would be a nice feature to have this within CVI, there are already plenty of C'/C++ Code Beautifiers' already freely available.
A quick search on Google or Dogpile will get you these.

I usually run my code through Lint and 'beautify'it as the last steps in a project.
It would be good and a small time saving if the IDE did this on the fly, but I don't know if I'd want it in the IDE.
Sometimes when performing merges of source, I do not always know where the source comes from or how it was formatted.

Perhaps it would be a good feature to have a 'beautifier' pluggin within CVI.

But, yes, I would be interested in having something there.

Hello
I wonder why there are these c-style settings. What do they do?
