Editing with tabbed windows with visual studio 6.0
-
Hi, I still use visual studio 6.0 (mainly as a tool for editing embedded controllers source code). I have done so for years but recently my laptop called it a day and died. I got a new one and re-installled visual studio 6.0 on it and it all works. I am missing one thing though. several years ago I downloaded an add-in for visual studio 6.0 which gave me the possibility to have tabbed windows for those files which are already open for editing. Unfortunately I cannot remember the name of the add-in so I cannot reinstall it on my new PC. The only thing I do think I remember is that I downloaded the software from Codeproject. I have been seaching the website but I could not find reference to it (not remembering the name does not help much). Anybody got any suggestions what software I am referring to ? I would really like to have it again as I am so used to it by now I really miss it. any help much appreciated Filip

I most certainly used Google. In fact, quite extensively because I rarely use another search engine. No matter how powerfull the search engine is though if you just can't remember the name of what you are looking for it does not help much :( . In the end I did suddenly remember the add on was called "WndTabs". As soon as you type that in under Google you find exactly where to download it in only a few seconds. You know what: it turned out that I even had the original downloaded file in the extensive backups I keep. Again, it does not help if you do not remember what it is called. Filip

Hey Filip not to be harsh but that's GARBAGE. I didn't remember the name of any products because I had never known them. Search engines are capable of finding things through the use of what is called "key words", check it out. Good luck :-D

It can be difficult but in your case I typed: "tabbed windows visual studio 6" from your subject heading and WndTabs is No. 5 in Google. Even if you couldn't remember the name surely looking at the link would have triggered your memory? Anyway, glad you found it. :) I too used this in my long-gone C++ days. :)

Okay so the other guys answering seem to be jerks :omg: .. not all of us are! :cool: You are probably referring to WndTabs. This can be found here on CodeProject at www.codeproject.com/KB/macros/wndtabs.aspx This this helps and good luck... Tim :laugh:

Thanks, In the mean time though I found out myself. You know: I kept on typing all sorts of word combinations in Google and not once did I see Wndtabs appear :confused:. whatever I typed must have been the wrong combination. I got to see all sorts of other +/- similar stuff but not WndTabs. Finally, if I now type, as Kevin suggested later, "tabbed windows visual studio 6" in Google I actually get it as the first suggested web site. If it had been there before it should have triggered my memory instantly. Ah well, it just goes to prove that nobody is perfect, a thought which, about myself, I have not had for a long time :) . regards, Filip
