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
