VS 2008 driving me crazy...

The editor in VS 2008 keeps autohiding my properties, while I'm typing in them. I.e. I have a standard property, with xml comments, like:



Private _myProp As Integer



'''<Summary>

''' I'll be typing here especially and the damn thing hides itself on me...

''' </Summary>

''' etc.

Public Property MyProp() As Integer

Get

Return _myProp

End Get

Set(value As Integer)

_myProp = value

End Set

End Property




When it hides itself it'll look like:



private _myProp As Integer...




Any idea on how to alter this behavior?

What ever it is, it's a sneaky little basta....er...weasel. No macros that I can find are defined. It usually happens when I'm not typing, like when I pause for a second. I'm still looking into keyboard short cuts.

Greg,

Look under edit - outlining , I use the short cuts there to collapse and expand code sections and regions but never had it do it by itself.

Yeah. I tried that first. At first I was using an open source duck tape, but it fell off my LCD every time a MS program was used. Then I tried to use Duck Code Tape 2.0 (tm)(c) from MS directly, but there was a bug where the tape would only scroll with the regions if I was scrolling down, so I had to remove it. When I took the tape off, it mangled my code, turning it into C# with calls to unmanaged assembly code. Thanks for the suggestion though Tongue

Paul, I assume you mean Tools|Options|Keyboard right? I don't see anything there yet, but I'm investigating.

Greg ,

I'm talking about outlining under  Edit.. you need to be in a source file for the munu option to show, shortcut is it is like Ctrl M + Ctrl M
