One of its features allows you to have your tabs rendered similarly to WndTabs's in VS6. I've tried SmartHelp, but I just didn't get on with it I'm afraid...it just didn't give the flexibility I was used to in the registered version of WndTabs. My personal favourite is right clicking on a grouped tab and closing all the others except that one, closely followed by "Make Read-Write/Make Read-Only") Goran Mitrovic wrote: It's incredibly buggy and undocumented. Sadly, that's normal for the COM interface on Microsoft products. VS6 and SourceSafe are no different in that regard.

Funny how priorities are re-ordered when problems occur.

That is wonderful to hear. I have barely managed to get my team onto VS.NET 1, so 2003 is going to have to wait a bit. Chris Maunder wrote: Speed is also a non-issue (admittedly I've got a 1.8GHz/512MB machine) Thing is, other apps are fine on my machine, but VS.NET is a touch slow. Some of the other apps have a much better reason (graphic apps) for being slow, something VS.NET does not. Still, the problems are nothing to write home about.

Here's to hoping that VS 2003 is better in that regard... You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose.

I don't know what you mean by "overload your system", but the IDE should never crash, overload or otherwise. I'm sorry to say that if the IDE only crashes on me once a day, I count my blessings. 5-10 times a day is more realistic... Sijin wrote: I am surprised that people feel VS6 was more better. Sometimes simpler is better. But really, it's a matter of taste. So far as the VS7 IDE goes - if I have a chance, I stick with the VC6 IDE. Maybe VS2003 will be somewhat better, though from what I saw in Beta 2, it's not that big of an improvement. -Oz --- Grab WndTabs from http://www.wndtabs.com to make your VC++ experience that much more comfortable...

To be honest, i'd pick those above all else even though i still use VS6 much more heavily than VS.NET. I have ugly memories of running VS6 on a 64MB 500MHz PC not too long ago... Crashes were just occasional enough to piss me off without making it unusable, while the speed... ugh... when moving the cursor from one function to another hangs the IDE for better than 5secs, it gets hugely frustrating in a hurry. --- Shog9 The siren sings a lonely song - of all the wants and hungers The lust of love a brute desire - the ledge of life goes under Not the 1st one Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa26-Jan-03 18:18 Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa 26-Jan-03 18:18  I thought my vote may b the first vote for this survey.
