Improved AutoIncreasing build number and other macros

I really love using macros in VC++. They make things highly customizable, like I like them.
Not how MS wants me to use it.

So, I took the liberty to add to Thomas Mahler’s wonderful
macro for increasing build number. I added support for increasing ALL the build numbers
avaliable in the .rc file. I also added backing up the file, because I noticed in certain
situations, it would occasionally change settings and lines other than the build
numbers. So use with caution.

I added putting the current compile date/time
to the 2nd line. I also include here, a couple macros for backing up the current active document,
and restoring the .rc file.

First, the small macros-

Sub CurrentDateTime()
 ‘DESCRIPTION: Saves current date/time to the rc file, on line 2.
    Dim strMonth
    Dim strDay
    Dim strYear
    Dim strHour
    Dim strMinute
    Dim strSecond
	Documents.Open (ActiveProject.Name + “.rc”), “Text”
	Windows(ActiveProject.Name + “.rc”).Active = TRUE
	ActiveDocument.Selection.GoToLine 2
	ActiveDocument.Selection.SelectLine
	ActiveDocument.Selection.Delete
	strMonth = CStr(DatePart(“m”, Now))
	strDay = CStr(DatePArt(“d”, Now))
	strYear = CStr(DatePart(“yyyy”, Now))
	strHour = CStr(DatePart(“h”, Now))
	strMinute = CStr(DatePArt(“n”, Now))
	strSecond = CStr(DatePart(“s”, Now))
	ActiveDocument.Selection.Text =”// Last compiled “+strMonth + “/” +strDay +”/” +strYear+” at “+ strHour+”:”+strMinute+”:”+strSecond+    + vbCrLf
	ActiveDocument.Selection.NewLine
	ActiveDocument.Save (ActiveProject.Name + “.rc”)
	ActiveDocument.Close()
End Sub
Sub saveBackUpRC()
‘DESCRIPTION: Backs up rc file.
    Documents.Open (ActiveProject.Name + “.rc”), “Text”
    Windows(ActiveProject.Name + “.rc”).Active = TRUE
    ActiveDocument.Save (ActiveProject.Name + “.rc”+”~”)
    ActiveDocument.Close()
End Sub
Sub restoreRcFile
‘DESCRIPTION: Restores back up of rc file.
    Documents.Open (ActiveProject.Name + “.rc~”), “Text”
    Windows(ActiveProject.Name + “.rc~”).Active = TRUE
    ActiveDocument.Save (ActiveProject.Name + “.rc”)
    ActiveDocument.Close()
End Sub
Sub saveActiveDocBackup()
‘DESCRIPTION: Backs up current active document.
    Dim Wnd
    Wnd = ActiveDocument.FullName
    ActiveDocument.Save(ActiveDocument.fullname + “~”)
    ActiveDocument.Close()
    Documents.Open Wnd, “Text”
End Sub

Now, the improved build increase macro

Sub IncResVersion()
‘DESCRIPTION: Build active project and increase version counters in rc script.
‘ Map it to F7 for ease of use. (c)’98 Th. Mahler and parts by LJP.
    Dim strMonth
    Dim strDay
    Dim strYear
    Dim strHour
    Dim strMinute
    Dim strSecond
	Dim Wnd
		‘ open the project’s resource script:
	Wnd = ActiveProject.Name + “.rc”
	Documents.Open (ActiveProject.Name + “.rc”), “Text”
	Windows(ActiveProject.Name + “.rc”).Active = True
	  ‘ SAVE BACK-UP OF FILE >>>>
	ActiveDocument.Save (ActiveProject.Name + “.rc”+”~”)
	ActiveDocument.Close()
	Documents.Open Wnd, “Text”
	‘Go to 2nd line in rc file, delete it, and get current time/date
	ActiveDocument.Selection.GoToLine 2
	ActiveDocument.Selection.SelectLine
	ActiveDocument.Selection.Delete
	strMonth = CStr(DatePart(“m”, Now))
	strDay = CStr(DatePArt(“d”, Now))
	strYear = CStr(DatePart(“yyyy”, Now))
	strHour = CStr(DatePart(“h”, Now))
	strMinute = CStr(DatePArt(“n”, Now))
	strSecond = CStr(DatePart(“s”, Now))
	‘write current date/time and add newline – formatted for USA
	ActiveDocument.Selection.Text =”// Last compiled “+strMonth+ “/”+strDay +”/”+strYear+” at “+strHour+”:”+strMinute+”:”+strSecond    + vbCrLf
	ActiveDocument.Selection.NewLine
		‘ find line with FileVersion Information:
	ActiveDocument.Selection.FindText “FILEVERSION”, dsMatchForward + dsMatchFromStart + dsMatchCase
	‘ move to eol and then to end of build number:
	ActiveDocument.Selection.EndOfLine
	‘ mark Build Number and store in strVersion
	ActiveDocument.Selection.WordLeft 1  ‘dsExtend does not work in my VisualStudio???
	Dim strVersion3
	strVersion3 = ActiveDocument.Selection.Text
	‘ Increase Version and write back to file:
	ActiveDocument.Selection.ReplaceText strVersion3 , strVersion3+1
	ActiveDocument.Selection.FindText “PRODUCTVERSION”, dsMatchForward + dsMatchFromStart + dsMatchCase
