    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

    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

                      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).
