Details
When there are hundreds, if not thousands of items to scroll through, locating an allusive property, class library, or object, can easily become frustrating.
The VS.NET Script Plug-in was designed to automate this task, and enable the ability to search for specific items without effort.
Several bug fixes and enhancements have also been added, which have increased the accessibility of the Windows Form Designer remarkably.
Hotkeys and Features
General
Using the Windows Form Designer
General
Activate main menu and hotkey list: Insert+Shift+H
Besides a list of the hotkeys that are available, the main menu lists several options that can be used at runtime. These include:
* Toggle maximum search within group lists.
* View online documentation.
* Uninstall the VS.Net Script Plug-in.
Open the Search For String dialog: Control+Shift+Numpad5
(Laptop Key: JawsKey+Pause)
This can be used to search for…
* A specific object within the Toolbox. (Simply highlight the Form Designer Window, press Control+Shift+Numpad5, then enter the desired search string.)
* A specific item within the properties list of the Properties Window. (Highlight the list of properties, press Control+Shift+Numpad5, then enter the desired search string.)
* A specific item within any tree view or list view. (Highlight the list to search, press Control+Shift+Numpad5, then enter the desired search string.)
The Maximize Search option can be toggled from the main menu (Insert+Shift+H). This option is off by default.
* When off, only the relevant list will be searched. (Expanded levels will not be included in the search. This is most prevalent within tree views, and within the properties list of the Properties Window.)
* When on, all relevant paths will be searched. (This takes more time, but yields more results.)
(To cancel a search, press Escape)
Multiple word searches are also supported. Type all of the words you want to search for, separated by a space, and the search will only return a match when all of the desired words are found.
Read selected item: Control+Shift+F12
This can be used within list views to read version info when viewing lists of class libraries.
