    When Intellisense pops up listing out function parameters, if you hold Ctrl down the popup up becomes transparent, so you can see what's underneath but still see the members. Not exactly earth shattering, but still :cool: Am I the last to know about this feature?


    - S 50 cups of coffee and you know it's on! Code, follow, or get out of the way.

        AFAIK, that worked in VS2005 for the debugger tips - they must've started using the same code for Intellisense in VS2k8.

          I recall, this transparency feature was one of the key selling points of VS2008.

              Aye, they didn't do much to "sell" it, since I was also completely unaware of it. I think they need to have a word with their publicity department...

              There are three kinds of people in the world - those who can count and those who can't...

                I would bet the farm that this was / will be removed in VS2010.

                  Christian Graus Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista. "! i don't exactly like or do programming and it only gives me a headache." - spotted in VB forums. I can do things with my brain that I can't even google. I can flex the front part of my brain instantly anytime I want. It can be exhausting and it even causes me vision problems for some reason. - CaptainSeeSharp

                      obviously they didn't think it was necessary to announce it as the feature is "transparent to the user" :laugh:

                        Nope. Just heard it from you. That ought to relieve a bit of the pinched nerve I get when the dame pop-up is in my way.
