I am trying to make the switch from Eclipse CDT to Visual Studio 2019 for C++ development.
In Eclipse, typing /* followed by enter create block comments with a space followed by an asterisk on the second line and below, as can be seen below. I would like a way of automatically placing the asterisks after the first line, so I don't have to format all my comments manually every time I add a new line.
If I type the same keys in Visual Studio as I did in Eclipse, the following happens:
What I want to get, and got in Eclipse:
/*
*
*/
What I actually get in Visual Studio 2019:
/*
*/
Is there a tool/extension I need for this, or did I miss an option in Visual Studio to enable this behaviour?

C++ comment delimiters are not the same as Java comment delimiters... – DavidPostill – 2019-05-20T20:17:55.693
@DavidPostill This is true. I have edited my question to more accurately describe what I'm looking for, and removed the context of javadoc-style comments, since c++ indeed doesn't have anything to do with those style of comments. However, the question still stands, since c++ does have
/* ... */style comments, and the same question applies here. – Rheel – 2019-05-21T00:04:14.103Sounds like you need a third-party add-on that maintains the style you want. – Ramhound – 2019-05-21T00:46:35.697
The different is just you've to press one key extra. – Biswapriyo – 2019-05-21T01:00:01.400
