C/C++ Auto-Indent change from 11.xx to 12.xx

Another annoying thing I've noticed about 12.xx is that the auto indentation for C/C++ is not working the same.

In V11.xx, auto indentation used to format as follows.

Code: Select all

    if( condition )
    {
    }

In V12.xx, auto indentation does this.

Code: Select all

    if( condition )
        {
        }

What am I missing?

The question must be: What you have to remove?

Click at Advanced - Configuration - Editor Display - Syntax Highlighting on the button Open to open the wordfile for syntax highlighting which I guess is the default wordfile.txt in the UltraEdit program directory.

Close the configuration dialog with the button Cancel.

In the wordfile set cursor to line 11 which contains the indent strings for language "C/C++".

Remove the string "if" and maybe also "else" ":"

The strings "if" and "else" are defined as indent strings by default for programmers which use a style like following example shows:

Code: Select all

   if( Errorcount != 1 )
        printf("%d errors",Errorcount);
   else
        printf("1 error");

Not my style, but maybe the style of other C/C++ programmers.

Hint: Save the modified standard wordfile with a new name and specify this new file in the configuration dialog to avoid problems with updates in future. There is always a special dialog during the installation about the wordfile update which you should read carefully next time.
