"Track active item in solution
explorer" in
Tools->Options->Environment->Projects
and Solutions.
I use it all the time.
Hi Roy, I think what you want for "Find this
file/project in the solution explorer" can be
easily get by using the Track Active Item in Solution
Explorer.
Willy, Omer,
Thanks, but that's not good enough. I have tracking
turned on but it's quite buggy. Sometimes it hghlights
theitem, but if you have really deep nesting hierarchies
in the solution explorer, it just gives up and you're
lost again..
:(
I'd be happy with even a simply macro that uses InputBox
top search a project byname..
I'd like to make a VS.NET addin that allows
CTRL+scrollwheel font resizing like in a web browser.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to hook
into mouse events. Any pointers? (No pun intended)
Jim:
Cool-Commands has that ability. Maybe the source code is
available fot that.
Ilan: Cool,1 I didn't notice that!
Sadly, it still does not work. I guess my project
nesting is just too complicated for some reason..
I actually created a macro to quickly switch on the
'track active item in solution explorer' and then switch
it off again. I don't like using vs.net with it on all
the time, but using the macro it let's me quickly find
the file I'm working on.
Great tool, btw the VS has the ability to find the file
in the solution explorer it's just disabled by default:
tools->options->Projects and
solutions->check track active item in the
solution explorer
"Right clicking in a code file and choosing
"build [current project
name]""
It's built into VS. Just Press Alt+B+U...
Maybe you can expand on this macro, same idea different
search area:
Sub GoogleSearch()
Dim strUrl As String
Dim selection As TextSelection =
DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection()
