I want VAX to produce this (using a shortcut/command or whatever):

switch (myEnum)
{
case enumValue1:
    break;
case enumValue2:
    break;
...
case enumValueN:
    break;
}


Shouldn't be too hard?

We're thinking about this, but aren't sure of the best way to trigger it. You type myEnum and exec a command to produce the whole switch statement? case=19137

For now the new scoped suggestions will suggest the enum items after each "case" keyword, making it a lot easier to write these switch statements manually.

A possibility is to show a "VAX paste menu" when you complete the first case-statement, similar to this:
enum MyEnum { myEnum1, myEnum2, myEnum3 };
switch (myEnum)
{
case my

shows:
[ myEnum1 ]
[ Complete all MyEnum constants ]

I am not sure I understand. Do you mean the second item in the menu would trigger the refactoring command?

I mean that the last menu item should fill the switch-statement with the remaining enum items!

switch (myEnu|
Menu is shown with all current alternatives + "Add all myEnum constants" to produce the complete switch-statement!

Or, if I later type "case":

switch (myEnum)
{
case myEnum1:
    break;
case my|
Menu is shown with all current alternatives + "Add all myEnum constants" to produce the complete switch-statement!

// Complete switch statement would look something like this:
switch (myEnum)
{
case myEnum1:
    break;
case myEnum2:
    break;
case myEnum3:
    break;
default:
    // ASSERT(FALSE);
    break;
}


For enums with no name (e.g. enum { a, b, c };) you obviously need to change the string "Add all myEnum constants" to "Add all related enum constants" or similar. You do the English! :P

This makes sense. I have added a note to case=19137 about this.

case=19137 is implemented in build 2073 as the command "Add Missing Case Statements"
