Autosync Class View
Here is another suggestion for the wholetomato team. Personnaly I think it is a strike of genius ;-P
How about Autosyncing the class view?
Right now, VS2005 IDE does synchronize the "Solution Explorer" based on your file you are currently editing. It does that by "tracking" and highlighting the file in the solution explorer.
It would be really nice if VAX could do the same and actually call View.SynchronizeClassView whenver it "senses" that you are inside a method for example or a class or a file/funtion, etc...
You can now do a "View.SynchronizeClassView" in VS2005, but you would have to do it manually every time ( or via keyboard shortcut ). For more details on "View.SynchronizeClassView" please see this website: http://blogs.msdn.com/ansonh/archive/2005/12/09/502020.aspx
It also has a lot of neat tricks concerning the contextual menu! :)
Please let me know what you think of my suggestion. |

give me a day! i have to sleep some times you know, plus i may be functioning on a different time zone to you 
first reaction, this sounds like a VS2005 specific thing, and VA does provide VA view, which shows class information, and can be set to track the current class. |

LOL, sorry feline :(
ClassView is 2003 and 2005 specific, not only 2005.
VA view, hmmm, I will take a look at that. Does it so the same thing as classView? |

Very kewl this Va View.
Ok, here is a suggestion then that might be easier to implement.
What would really be neat is if there would be an option for the 'class tree view' of VA view to enable "sync with Class View" on goto/navigation.
So if you browse the VA class tree, you can always goto the Class View and call a create method, etc.. without having to browse for the object a second time. |

interesting idea. i have never actually used the class view myself, but i do find VA View invaluable now and then.
*prods class view* it seems that killing off intellisense in VS2005 also kills off class view. looking at "add function" in VS2003, via the class view, i can tell why i never use this. that looks like far to much fuss, and is not well suited to programming with Qt.
is it just the two add dialogs you are interested in? or are you getting more out of class view? some form of C++ refactoring is in the works, so i am wondering if there is a potential overlap here. |
