I couldent find anything on the net so i thaught i would ask here, I know macro's can be made for VS2008 etc and was wondering is it possible for example to set a hotkey <eg ctrl+alt+1> that will place a spesific control on my form

example:

i have setup my most commonly used controls
ctrl+alt+1 = button
ctrl+alt+2 = label
ctrl+alt+3 = textbox

When i press either hotkey that control will apear on the designer window . Sorry if this is the wrong forum and Thank you in advance :)

You could create a Macro that typed the XAML into the XAML editor.

I tried creating a Macro the added directly to the design surface from the ToolBox but couldn't get it to work.

You can use a Macro similar to this and assign a Global hot key to run it.


Sub ButtonCreateMacro()

DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text =

"<Button />"

End Sub
