I really like the Visual C++ Express Version for efficient C++-Coding. I'm just missing the feature of auto brace-completion, for example when I type { and press enter ist should automatically add }. I googled a Lot but just found Addons for the professional or the C#-Versions. Isn't there any possibility of getting this to work? I'm really wondering why this isn't already a standard feature since it's either not that of an act to implement it and also in the C#-Edition.

Unfortunately this is not available in the Visual Studio C++ editor. Atleast if you have the express edition. Using the other versions, like you have said, makes it possible to download or create an addin/extension to get to this result.

As mentioned in: visual studio 2010 C++ : braces autocomplete

Should you decide to switch to a different version of Visual Studio 2010 I can recommend this addin: Productivity Power Tools which allows a lot of customization, including automatic brackets.

  • Hmm, okay. It's not a solution for me to buy the professional edition. I don't want to pay 500€ or more just to have that one feature. Thank you! – user2308896 Apr 23 '13 at 12:05
