Stupid VS.net platform question
-
OK - so how do I delete a member function (besides manually) in VC++.net. Used to be you selected the function from the class in question and hit delete - all code would then be commented out. (How simple and elegent was that!) I can't seem to do that in VC7 and I can't find anything in any of the menus...Aghhh! So far in converting my projects over from VC6 all I've found is some cool features, even less area for looking at code, slow compiles, slow environment, the elimination of some really useful features and a lot of frustration. What are they (Microsoft) trying to do to us? Sorry for the rant... John

ditto, so i came back to VS.06, i really dont need VS.NET as of now... But any way to answer your question, i myself didn't find any option to delete a method and also didn't find any help form ppl in this forum or any where else.

This is poorly implemented and confusing, but you can delete some member funtions: Open the .cpp file in question, click properties (you may have to click on the cpp file again to get the properties to recognize it.) You then select one of icons (events/messages/overrides) find the function click on it, then selecte ... from the drop down.

Thank you. I actually got a response from someone at Microsoft asking about specific features I miss. This is my response: Thank you for your reply. 1) Being able to delete member functions (user written or message handler) or member variables as in VC++6 (selected from the class view) would be nice. 2 Why was the tab order in the solution explorer changed from VC++6? Used to be Classes/Resource/Files now its Files/Classes/Resources I go back and forth from VC++6 to VC++7 and now it's a hassle to have to remember (or read) the tabs... 3) Why does the solution explorer switch to the right side when running debug - and why does the class view disappear - to me the class view is much more useful than the file view. And why does it switch sides? Why screw with my prefrences. I'm used to and like the explorer(s) on the left so that's where I put them... 4) What happend to the brouse mini bar that was in VC++6? I found that to be extremely useful when digging down through function calls 5) I'm sure there are other things that await my discovery. I've only been using .net for about 2 weeks... You've added a lot of nice stuff for managing projects but it seems that your forgetting that the original intent is to write code... There are a lot of thing I like too......treating open files as property pages is very cool... I'm suprised that I got that kind of response to my original question. Regards, John Horstkamp

2&3) Change them. Once you move the solution explorer is both debug and coding mode, it will stay there. Annoying, but you only have to do it once. You can also change the order of the tabs by dragging the tab over the other tabs. Tim Smith I'm going to patent thought. I have yet to see any prior art.

Tried those suggestions - they didn't stay put from 1 session to the next but perhaps I did something wrong...thanks.
