Export database schema into SQL file

Is it possible in MS SQL Server 2008 to export database structure into a T-SQL file?

I want to export not only tables schema but also primary keys, foreign keys, constraints, indexes, stored procedures, user defined types/functions.

Also I don't want the data to be present in this T-SQL file.

Is there any way to achieve that?

When generating the scripts, there is an area that will allow you to script, constraints, keys, etc. From SQL Server 2008 R2 there is an Advanced Option under scripting:
