I have no idea how to do it, but I have to ask why you would to do such a thing? I can't think of any reason to do it. What kind of functionality did you have in mind? RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Hi, For example if you point on a build in variable in debug mode you can see the small field with its value. It is a smart tag(I beleave).This seems to work just for build in types. I would like to extend this functionality. And also other fun features would be possible. With best regards, Bonio

It's not done using SmartTags because the IDE doesn't currently support them. SmartTags will show up in the IDE in Visual Studio 2005. Currently, it's just a simple tool tip that that appears when the IDE is in debug mode and it detects that your hovering over a variable that is in scope. The ToolTip shows value types and simple reference types, like String. Beyond that... Actually, what your thinking of doing is already being done in Visual Studio 2005. It's called a DataTip. You'll be able to create you own Viewer Helper classes that can display objects however you want. See this[^] for the full story. Wanna peek at 2005? http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/productinfo/roadmap.aspx[^] RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

No. You can't touch it. You would have to make your own from scratch, but I odn't know where to start. The object model for the Visual Studio IDE is quite large. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Hi Dave, hi all but the class member advice of VS seems to be a smart tag. (When you write myclass and then press dot a list of members open). So VS seems to support smart tags. Any help would be very appreciated. Best regards, Boni

That's Intellisense doing that. Smart Tag support will show up in VS.NET 2005... RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
