Public Module ToggleTabSize

    ' Toggle the C/C++ editor's tab size between 2, 4 and 8.
    Sub Toggle()
        Dim props As EnvDTE.Properties = DTE.Properties("TextEditor", "C/C++")
        Dim ts As EnvDTE.Property
        Dim ins As EnvDTE.Property

        ts = props.Item("TabSize")
        ins = props.Item("IndentSize")

        If ts.Value = 2 Then
            ts.Value = 4
            ins.Value = 4
        ElseIf ts.Value = 4 Then
            ts.Value = 8
            ins.Value = 8
        Else
            ts.Value = 2
            ins.Value = 2
        End If
    End Sub

End Module
