VS.NET 2003 IDE configuration questions
-
Hi everyone I am using a Visual C++ .NET 2003 (7.1.3088) and want to diasable or change some settings on the IDE but I am not able to find where to do this :confused: 1) disable "autoscroll" When I press the middle mouse button I get this "two arrowed icon" and I can now scroll in any direction by moving the mouse. In Mozilla Firefox this feature is called "autoscroll" so I call it like this. How is it called in VC++ and where can I disable it? 2) disable dynamic help I've already read some rants on this one but can somebody actually tell me how to get rid of the everappearing dynamic help? (which's annoyment is only topped by Office's talking paperclip) 3) set filers for MSDN help In VC++ 6.0 I could set up filters for the MSDN so that I don't always get entries for ASP, WinCE, IIS and whatnot when I press F1. Where can I do this and which are the most important chapters when programming pure C++ and MFC? 4) disable start page How to get rid of it? (it never shows the correct "recently used projects" anyway...) 5) disable collapsing In the text/code editor window you have to the left some tree-like structure where you can collapse and expand code. Since I don't use collapsing and usually click the tiny cross by accident, how can I disable this tree-like structure completely? Please not that I am using a German version of VC++ (whoever invented German programming IDEs should recieve his emails of the year 2005 in old Egyptian icon fonts... gosh, ever tried to actually find anadvice/trick/hint from a Codeproject article in your non-English VC++ IDE ?!?). Any help welcome, thanks T.T.H. / Matthias

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Dynamic Help, string valueNever Show DH on F1set to "YES" 3) set filers for MSDN helpHelp->Edit Filtersin the help viewer. (Yes, that's an odd place for that command.) 4) disable start pageTools->Optionsin VC. The first page displayed has anAt Startupcombobox, set it toShow empty environment. 5) disable collapsing In the options,Text Editor->C/C++->Formatting, uncheckEnter outlining mode when files open. --Mike-- LINKS~!
