Adding line numbers to VBE Code using MZ-Tools

Hi Folks

I'm using the MZ-Tools 8.0 Add-In, which allows for inserting line numbers throughout my Code. This works great, but has to be triggered manually each time I modify the code.

So, I attempted to automate this together with each time the project is compiled:

Code:

---

'Automatisches Kompilieren des Projekts (wird vor dem Speichern ausgeführt) (Nebenprozedur)
Sub subProjektAutomatischKompilieren()

    On Error GoTo Fehlerbehandlung
   
        'Excel Verhalten setzen
        With Application: .ScreenUpdating = False: .EnableEvents = False: End With
       
        'Lokale Variablen dimensionieren/speichern
        Dim objVBEMenüBar As Object
        Dim objKompilieren As Object
        Set objVBEMenüBar = Application.VBE.CommandBars
       
        'Projekt kompilieren falls Code verändert wurde
        Set objKompilieren = objVBEMenüBar.FindControl(Type:=msoControlButton, ID:=578)
        If objKompilieren.State = msoButtonUp Then
            objKompilieren.Execute
'            Set objKompilieren = objVBEMenüBar.FindControl(Type:=msoControlButton, Tag:="AddLineNumbers")
'            objKompilieren.Execute
        End If
       
        'Excel Verhalten setzen
        With Application: .EnableEvents = True: .ScreenUpdating = True: End With


    Exit Sub


Fehlerbehandlung:


    'Excel Verhalten setzen
    With Application: .EnableEvents = True: .ScreenUpdating = True: End With
   
    'Fehler verursachen (wird im Anschluss in der Hauptprozedur gespeichert)
    Err.Raise Err.Number, " | subProjektAutomatischKompilieren", Err.Description


End Sub

The two relevant lines of code are highlighted in bold.
This procedure works for adding line numbers to itself, but not throughout the whole project.

Any ideas or other ways to add line numbers?

Kind regards

Have you updated to the Aug 1 release? Add/Remove line numbers was added to the right click context menu to make it more convenient.

Thanks for your reply, I've got the latest release. Sure I can do it manually, but the goal is to let VBE handle this for me upon compiling the project.

When doing it "manually", the MZ-Tools asks if I want to apply the lines to the current procedure/module or project; and the default seems to be procedure level.

So, my question is if there is a way to add parameters/options to change the scope of the procedure to project-level

Honestly, I think you would be better off contacting Carlos Quintero directly

He's been pretty responsive the couple of times I've sent a question.

Or just spend $20 and get the AET VBE Tools add-in which has a nice "add to project" context menu pick to add lines to the entire project all in one go.

I've purchased MZ-Tools for about 70$, so definitely I'm not going to buy a redundant add-in

Mhmm I'm not sure...I've contacted MZ-Tools support already, and they answered that it is not possible. But since it is feasible for a single sub, i was wondering...

Your choice of course, but I have both and think the AET tools are worth $20. There are a couple of functions there that plug some gaps in MZ Tools.

You can always just code you own solution to add line numbers. Should not be too hard.
