How to Create a Region in eclipse like Visual Studio

Question

I am working with Eclipse tool and I am so curious to know about that how can I create Region in Eclipse like in Visual Studio we can create :

#region abc

// Some Code 

#endregion abc

How to achieve the same thing in Eclipse.

Answer 1

#region is a feature of the C# language. Unless you are writing C# in Eclipse through some plugin (and there is one actually), you can't. If you are writing C# in Eclipse, then just type it. But I don't know if Eclipse will collapse it like Visual Studio does.

Answer 2

check this out There is no way to do this in eclipse.The eclipse ide does not provide a way to region off areas of code like visual studio does I came from visual studio to eclipse and this is a problem I had.

Answer 3

Got to long for a comment ..

There is code folding in Eclipse. You can find it in Window-> Preferences, then search for "folding". But it just wraps methods/functions/comments etc.

There is a plugin that used to work in Eclipse 4.2 named Coffee Bytes, but it is no longer maintained. So usage is at your own risk.

Lots of "buts", I know ;).

Answer 4

Eclipse does not have something like Visual Studio's region. but you can use the below code and enable folding for this purpose.

#if (1) //myregion
C++ code here
#endif //end myregion

You can add a new template like the below in the Prefrences > C/C++ > Templates menu to add it to surround with and code snippet(auto-complete with CTRL+Space)

#if(1) /* region: ${name} */

${line_selection}${cursor}

#endif   /* region end: ${name} */
