Code-Formatting: How can I change Brace-Position in Control Blocks

[runout]

Hi,

this is what I want:
if (foo) {

}

This is set: Options/Text-Editor/C/C++ (VGDB)/Formatting/Extra New Line for control Blocks = false
But no effect!

if (foo)
{

}

this is not what I want…
What can I do to  change this behavior?

TT

Hi,

Most likely, you are using VisualGDB with clang-format. Please try clicking on the “format document” icon in the top right corner of the text editor (near the “go” button). It will open a detailed editor for the clang-format style file.

Hi,

no chance to find the mentioned button
Where is the default clang-style-format located?

Please a little nudge…

Thanks for the screenshot. Looks like you are using the legacy formatter, so the clang-format settings are irrelevant.

We have double-checked the configuration you mentioned. The option you mentioned controls an extra newline between “{” and “}”. In order to control whether “{” gets on a separate line, please use the “New control blocks” option instead.
