I’m working with ExtJs framework and so have to code a lot of JS

  • 0

I’m working with ExtJs framework and so have to code a lot of JS in vs2008, however, VS2008 keeps removing my indentation and its driving me nuts.

How do I remove the ‘auto-indent’ feature? Thanks

  1. The simple answer is: Turn off the Automatic formatting in the Formatting tab

    Extracted from the documentation here

    JScript specific settings are available under the new Tools / Options / Text Editor / JScript node

    These four tabs are:

    General & Tabs

    Options here are standard across all editors (including JScript)

    Formatting

    This tab was designed for JScript and contains the most of the JScript specific formatting features

    Automatic formatting: This section refers to WHEN formatting will occur as the user is typing in and manipulating code in ‘real time’. Basically, formatting is being performed as the user is constructing the code.

    • Format completed line on enter (default ON): Once {ENTER} is pressed, the line will be formatted according to the options set
    • Format completed statement on ; (default ON): Once ; is pressed, the line will be formatted according to the options set
    • Format completed block on } (default ON): Once } pressed, the block will be formatted according to the options set
    • Format on paste (default ON): Once code is pasted into the editor, it will be formatted according to the options set

    Miscellaneous

    This tab is also JScript specific and contains validation rules as well as statement completion options
