FlyingWindows - An AddIn by Light Templer - NEW VERSION 2.5.0 from 10/20/2004 NOW WITH AUTOCOMPLETE

Flying Windows claims fully back the valuable work area of your IDE! No unneeded tool or property window is open when writing code or designing a form. Now the whole screen belongs to you to design your form or write some code! And when you need a tool/property window: One quick move (no mouseclick!) of your mouse is enough to get it back / take it away. ___ 2nd hilite: Small property windows for controls like the known tooltips are assisting your form design! ___ And some more nice gimmicks... ____ Advertisement stop. ;) - To the facts: Implemented in Flying Windows so far * Hotcorners for most used tool windows (toolbox, properties, project explorer and immediate window) * Empty the immediate window when ctrl key is pressed on opening by hotcorner. * Tooltip windows for controls showing the name and the most important properties. * Click on a property value in the tooltip window with ctrl key pressed puts this value into the clipboard. * Tooltip windows are moveable by caption bar. Leave them open with ctrl key pressed when mouse leaves tooltip window. Close them with a simple mouseclick. * Show mouse pointers absolut screen coordinates in VB IDEs title bar in pixel. * With an open source code pane moving the mouse to the left border of the screen opens the coresponding designer window (Shift-F7) and reverse. * The size of comboboxes of a code pane are increased to show much more values without a need for boring scrolling. ________ Background: To do all of this I had to dig very deep into VB IDEs COM interface and so here is hard stuff like 'Get a reference to the control under the mouse' and more ... _______ Enjoy the new feeling in programming VB! ____ Regards LiTe _________________________________________________ NEW VERSION 2.5.0 - 10/20/2004: Now your code is flying, too!
