Do you find that it is much easier to comment or uncomment a block of
code in Visual Basic editor? I wrote a couple of macro routines to do the same
for Visual C++ editor. When you select a block of code and click on
CommentBlock toolbar button, the selected text will be commented out
with ‘//’. When you click on UncommentBlock toolbar button, the
selected text will be uncommented if it was commented out with ‘//’.

To install the macro file, download it to your Visual Studio macro
directory. This is usually C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual
StudioCommonMSDev98Macros. From the Visual C++ editor, simply
create two toolbar. Set each of them up to to run these macros:
CommentBlock and UncommentBlock.
