RE: Visual Studio Express

 
 
Ok you should learn the commands here is a few.
 
control-alt-l
 
opens the menu tree where you can go through your source files I think its
called the solution tree view.
 
If you want to view the code of one of the files you can use the application
key and arrow down to view code.  This is only necessary in forms because if
you just hit enter it will open up the form view.  If your on a regular
class source file it will open up if you hit enter on it.
 
If your in form view and your trying to drop controls to get to the tool box
its control-alt-x
 
There are so many commands its hard to list them all but Jaws does a pretty
good job if you have the scripts installed just type insert-h.

Subject: Visual Studio Express


Hi all,
 
So I've been playing around some with visual studio express, and I'm still
running into some difficulties.
 
First of all, while I very much like having a program help me with syntax
and the like, I find that if a program is offering help when I don't even
want it, it's a lot more distracting than actually helpful. so here's the
situation I'm coming across.
 
any time I start a new project or load up an existing one, I get stuck in
some kind of tree view. From looking through the menus, there are a lot of
options, but I see nothing that allows me to get into the code editor. The
hotkey list I have says that you can press f7 to get there, but even that
doesn't work. Sometimes I can press escape to get out of the tree, but not
always.
 
Secondly, when I do manage to get to the code editor, I'll be right in the
middle of typing or editting a line, and all of the sudden up pops an error
list. that's all well and good if I'm compiling, or ask it to check for
errors, but I've not even finished the line yet.
 
I'd much much rather begin with the ability to edit, compile and debug my
code, and be able to explore the helpfulness of the program as I go, not
because it insists on putting things in my face while I'm typing. Does
anyone have any suggestions? Some way of simplifying it a bit so I can
actually try out my code? I'm usually really good at learning software but
I'm truly baffled.
 
Oh, and I do have the visual studio scripts installed.
Thanks!
Christy
