I thought i’d use a macro to speed up writing <xsl:choose> blocks.

DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = "<xsl:choose>"
DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.NewLine()

gives me (thanks to auto complete)

<xsl:choose>

</xsl:choose>

however

DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = "<xsl:choose>"
DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.NewLine()
DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = "<xsl:when test=""true()"">"

gives

<xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="true()"></xsl:when>"
</xsl:choose>

in the editor.

Where is that extra ” coming from??

Cheers

    Hehe, it’s the autocomplete. When the macro types the = symbol the ide adds the quote marks and moves the cursor, then the macro continues typing where i’m not expecting it to be.

    D’oh.

    DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = "<xsl:choose>"
DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.NewLine()
DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = "<xsl:when test=true()"
DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.EndOfLine()
DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = ">"
DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.NewLine()
