Automatically add `Option Private Module` to all m

Question

Is there a way automatically to add Option Private Module to all modules in VBA?

Something like the automatic adding of Option explicit when we mark the checkbox in the Extras>Option>editor for declaration of variables?

Because going through all modules and writing it manually somehow seems like the only option.

Sub-question: If you have to add Option Private Module to all modules in 10 applications what would you do?

At first I was thinking to use a simple Replace and to replace the Option Explicit with Option Explicit ^p Option Private Module, but it would replace it in the classes as well and I have to delete it from there.

Ideas to save some 30 minutes here?

Answer 1

This should get you most of the way there, and this example works for all open, unprotected projects. If you need to modify protected projects, just unprotect them first.

Remember that you'll need to explicitly save changes to any add-ins.

See the inline comments for the rationale behind various checks

Sub Foo()

  'Add a reference to Visual Basic for Applications Extensibility
  Dim proj As VBIDE.VBProject
  Dim comp As VBIDE.VBComponent
  For Each proj In Application.VBE.VBProjects

    'Check the project isn't protected
    If proj.Protection = vbext_pp_none Then

      For Each comp In proj.VBComponents
        'Check we're working with a standard module
        If comp.Type = vbext_ct_StdModule Then
          'TODO: Check that Option Private Module doesn't already exist
          comp.CodeModule.InsertLines 1, "Option Private Module"
        End If

      Next comp

    End If

  Next proj

End Sub

Edit from OP(@vityata): I have decided to add to your answer my updated one (I hope you do not mind). It is with late binding, thus no libraries are needed:

            strText = objComp.CodeModule.Lines(1, UP_TO_LINE)

            If InStr(1, strText, PRIVATE_MODULE) = 0 Then
                objComp.CodeModule.InsertLines 2, PRIVATE_MODULE
            End If

        End If
    Next objComp

End Sub

Answer 2

Took me a little longer to modify exisitng code of mine, you could try the following code below to repalce all places of "Option Explicit" with "Option Private Module".

Code

Option Explicit

Sub ReplaceOptionExplicitInModules()

Dim VBProj As VBIDE.VBProject
Dim VBComp As VBIDE.VBComponent
Dim CodeMod As VBIDE.CodeModule
Dim i As Long

' loop though all open projects
For Each VBProj In Application.VBE.VBProjects

    If VBProj.Protection = vbext_pp_none Then

        ' loop through all modules, worksheets and other objects in VB Project
        For Each VBComp In VBProj.VBComponents

            If VBComp.Type <> vbext_ct_ClassModule Then  ' <-- check if module type is not class (to replace also on sheet and workbook events)
                Set CodeMod = VBComp.CodeModule

                ' loop through all code lines inside current module
                For i = 1 To CodeMod.CountOfLines
                    If Len(CodeMod.Lines(i, 1)) > 0 Then
                        ' if line contents is "Option Explicit*" 
                        If CodeMod.Lines(i, 1) Like "Option Explicit*" Then
                            CodeMod.ReplaceLine i, "Option Private Module"
                        End If
                    End If
                Next i
            End If
        Next VBComp
    End If
Next VBProj

End Sub
