Code formatter/beautifier in IDE

Why don't most IDEs have a formatter/beautifier built in? If you could just click a button on the toolbar and format you code, it would be so helpful sometimes.
Visual C++ has it, Code::Blocks has it, Eclipse has it, Dev-C++ can get one as plugin.
I knew Eclipse did, but Visual C++? Are you talking about the automatic indentation?

Ctrl+E, Ctrl+D or Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D
Look into Edit→Advanced menu
Thanks for telling me that, but I meant with options, like this http://prettyprinter.de/
You can generally configure the behavior of the automatic formatting in the settings of the IDE.
