Formatting method

[Sonjli 6]

Hello,

I have a strange behaviour when I add a new parameter in a method.

My method has 2 params like this

procedure TForm1.Test(
  const par1: Integer;
  const par2: string
  );
begin
  // ...
end;

I add the new param with

 

The result is a wrong formatted code:

procedure TForm1.Test(const Par1: Integer; const Par2: string; const NewParam:
    Integer);
begin
  //
end;

The more params there are, the worst is the formatting...

 

I would like to maintain the same formatting for my params.

 

Any hint?

 

Thanks,

Eddy

MMX uses an internal formatting scheme which is not adjustable. You need to re-format your code manually or with the IDE formatter.

Ok Uwe. If you don't want to want to solve this simple issue for a poor, poor programmer, I'll do it myself

Seriously, I understand. So I found a configuration for the standard formatter I share for others if they find it useful:

This solve my terrible () problem wtih MMX.

 

Thanks Uwe

@Sonjli You could also just add the new paramater(s) in either the declaration or the implementation of the method. Then hit STRG + ALT + Shift + P and the other one will be updated to the just made changes!

Or Ctrl + Alt + y with MMX formatter installed. It is a bit easier for fingers 😊

when all go wrong, you can "force it" using the "comments chars alignment"  to provocate your break-line!  + "Ctrl+D" (IDE) ... and Formatter options... I Love it! 😍

procedure TForm1.Test(  { indent comments + breakline }
  const Part1: integer; { }
  const part2: string;  { }
  var part3: boolean);
begin

end;
