Very easy - please click menu 'Configure' --> 'General Options' --> 'Add to context menu', a new item named 'SourceFormatX' will be added to context menu. Then right click the destination source code file in Windows Explorer, select the "SourceFormatX" popup menu item, SourceFormatX will format the code file in the background.
When the formatting process's finished, a ring will be heard. The elapsed time is according to the size and the type of the source code file which processed by SourceFormatX.
