Pin a DataTip to source

NOTE:  I assume most everyone knows what a DataTip is for this tip since they have been around for at least a couple of versions or more.

 

In VS2010 you can now pin DataTips to source code:

  1. Just put your mouse over any variable to get started. 
  2. Note the little pin at the end of the DataTip
  3. Click it!

 

You should now see a "pinned to source" DataTip:

There is another clue that this is "pinned".  Take a peek at the blue pin in the gutter:

Now for the cool part:  Click the DataTip and drag it down a couple of lines in the code.The pin follows it!  Sweet!

Also notice that somewhere (hopefully close but it wasn't for me when I tested it) you should see a little set of controls that go with it:

So the "X" obviously closes the DataTip.  In future tips I'll show you what the other two buttons do. (epic cliffhanger)

    That is fantastic, I can't tell you how frustraiting it is to have the DataTip dissappear from under your mouse during a debug session. Steve :D

    This is a very cool feature, I am just batteling with one problem with it that I can't find the colors to set for the tip, I've got a black background the data tip's backround is also black, as well as the text so I can read anything.

    My problem is I can't figure out what the colors mean. They seem to be following my colors scheme, but I notice sometimes the text changes colors and I don't know what that's indicating.

    I don't know of any way to change the color though the IDE currently.  I dug into the registry and couldn't find any obvious way to do it either.  Hopefully we will see this in the options going forward or in an extension.
