  • Articolo

Versions:  2010

Code:  vstipDebug0007

 

You can now add comments to your DataTips Sometimes you just want to make a comment to remind yourself about something in a DataTip (pinned or floating) and now you can!  Here's how you do it:

1. Enter Debug Mode

 

2. Put your mouse pointer over a variable in the current scope; you should see something like this:
clip_image002

 

3. Click on the pin to create a pinned DataTip:
clip_image004

 

4. Put your mouse over the pinned tip until you see this control area:
clip_image006

 

5. Do you see the chevrons at the bottom?  (the double "V" thingy for the short-bus kids out there)
clip_image008

 

6. Click on it!  You should see something like this on your DataTip (NOTE:  this illustration shows a floating DataTip):
clip_image010

 

7. Type in some comments and bask in the glory that is comments for DataTips.
