How to call the VB Code Formatter from macro

Is it possible to call the VB code formatter from within a macro?

I wrote a macro that automatically adds a call to the logger in side an function or sub when it is created. But when I change the TextEditor.Enter command to my macro, nocode formating takes place.

Is there a way to call the original command Edit.BreakLine(Enter(TextEditor)) ??

Thank you.

Hello Harry,

You can callDTE.Document.Selection.NewLine() to insert anew lineat the location of the cursor. If you want toformat the codes in the active document, you can call ExecuteCommand function. Codes look like,
------------------------------------------------------------------------

DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.NewLine()

DTE.ExecuteCommand(

"Edit.FormatDocument")
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps! Have a nice day.
