    In C# we have the collapsible (folding) text with the handy dandy #region directive to arbitrarily set a region to collapse. MS was nice enough to extend the folding abilities to C++ developers this time around, however, I don't seem to see any sort of equivalent to #region. Has anyone found this yet? Give me one more medicated peaceful moment

        #region/#endregion is so usefull in VC#. Large class files are easy to work on when you just collapse the bits that you are unlikely to want to view. Viva VS.NET!

          I haven't found one, and there definately wasn't one for the 2002 release. Someone should let the good folk over at Whole Tomato know to they can add support for: //#region //#endregion into Visual Assist.NET.

                      With VC++.NET, outlining is explicitely managed using the context menu. There is no equivalent to the C# #region keyword. And Visual Assist.NET doesn't bring this feature either.

                        you can try this[^] addin. It enables those #region keywords in the following way: //#region //#endregion that way (with the comment lines) the compiler is not confused...

                          The VB macro used to track //#region //#end region sections is a smart workaround. Congrats! :) It remains probably static : from the VB code I believe that if you update the source code within the outlined section, then you have to apply the macro again.

                            A bit OT but does anyone know the hot key for opening and closing regions? I get frustrated when I am scrolling down with the keyboard and then have to switch to the mouse to open the region. ta

The thing that keeps popping up with "try again in a few minutes after the system has loaded 50 megabytes worth of stuff" and the thing that gets in the way when I'm editing code, so I have to hit the damn ESC key because I can't get out of the popup window that has 20 different constructor options that I'm perpetually stuck scrolling through with the down arrow. I do believe I'm about to nuke that feature of the IDE.

                                        In C# we have the collapsible (folding) text with the handy dandy #region directive to arbitrarily set a region to collapse. MS was nice enough to extend the folding abilities to C++ developers this time around, however, I don't seem to see any sort of equivalent to #region. Has anyone found this yet? Give me one more medicated peaceful moment

                                        This is a feature we have planned for a future release; it will likely be implemented as "#pragma region". It didn't make the cut for 2003 (Everett).

Pressing Ctrl + M deletes the current line, and if that current line happens to be a hidden region it deletes the whole region. Like back on IRC when us ops used to tell annoying newbies that if they pressed Alt+F4 they could get op statues. :-D
