Thanks for the suggestion. I already have an issue open for this feature at http://indentguide.codeplex.com/workitem/6.

New Feature suggestion:

Colorize each Indent Guide by parent command with different color. (for example red for loops, green for switches, yellow for using and so on) like justcode.

Thanks

New Post: Can indent guide work with placing fixed indent on columns

Zooba — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 13:52:16 GMT

That should still work fine. I use the same thing myself (through the Productivity Power Tools extension, which adds a context menu option).

As far as I can tell, the only thing that could have happened is that your registry key was changed or deleted. None of the code in Indent Guides will do that, and the static line is built into the VS text editor (it's actually an old feature that has been deprecated but not removed) and displayed well before the adornment layers are used.

One possibility is that VS ran some sort of settings upgrade with the install and the static line (which is, effectively, a registry hack) was forgotten. Again, I have no control over this. Does adding the registry setting again solve the issue for you?

New Post: Can indent guide work with placing fixed indent on columns

Nap — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 02:20:15 GMT

We have a coding rule that specify all lines must not exceed a specified character number (e.g. 90 character). Before, I use to add a registry item to add a static line guide. But when I have installed the line guide, the static line was gone. Is this by design? Are there any work around to show guide lines together with the indent guides?

New Post: add keyboard handler or right click menu for when mouse is above guide line to go to top or bottom of block

Zooba — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 13:13:58 GMT

Ah, got it. I didn't actually know about that shortcut (C# doesn't do it for keywords, only identifiers).

Thanks,

It's not an extension, it's the

Edit.PreviousHighlightedReference binding where visual studio highlights syntactic elements if you are positioned on one and then you can use ctrl/shift up or down to go to the else, end if or end of loop. (in vb.net).

I don't seem to have that keyboard shortcut, so I guess that's one of your other extensions (VSCommands, maybe?). I like the idea though, so I'll create a feature issue for the keyboard shortcut. A context menu is highly unlikely - I don't want the guides to become 'active' elements that interfere with normal usage - but I will consider how a keyboard shortcut could work here.

In visual studio there is a keyboard shortcut ctrl/shift up/down arrow to advance to the next syntactic element at the same level.

You can use this to navigate to the top or bottom of a block. When you have a guide line extending over several pages, It would be very handy to be able

hover over the guideline and have a context menu selection or keyboard shortcut to go to the top and bottom of the block delineated by the guideline.

New Post: Indent Guides addition feature

I'd love to be able to add guides to the print copy, but I haven't ever seen any APIs for extending printing. The same goes for copying formatted text into (say) Word - they both only operate on the text, and so there's no way to add adornments (like the guides).

It would be nice to see that in the print copy as well. Some of the code may have long nested bracket. It would be hard to line up without that on the print copy.

New Post: Why not for Visual Studio Express 2010

Zooba — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 19:07:03 GMT

I agree. Unfortunately, one of the ways Microsoft can justify making the Express versions free is by not allowing any extensions. If you're a student or small business there are ways of getting the paid editions for free or very cheap (look up DreamSpark and/or BizSpark), but Express is off-limits. (This rule even applies to extensions like Python Tools for Visual Studio (http://pytools.codeplex.com), which is written by a team at Microsoft, but still isn't allowed to run in the Express editions.)

Dear Sir

Unfortunately the Indent Guides cannot be installed on Visual Studio Express 2010. To use it under VS2010 Express it would be a nice thing.

Kind Regards

New Post: Guide for empty line

Zooba — Wed, 25 May 2011 10:47:02 GMT

Depending on your settings, yes. Because the line above is indented, a guide is shown.

The other settings let you choose whether it is based on the line above or the line below, and whether to only extend guides that are already displayed or to start new lines as well (as it has here).

These options can be changed by going to Tools, Options, and selecting "Indent Guides" from the list at the left.

New Post: Guide for empty line

monroecheeseman — Tue, 24 May 2011 13:27:00 GMT

For the following code, i'm getting a guide line after the "MessageBox" line on the empty line. I wasn't expecting one there, is that indent exptected?

            try
            {
                tcp.Connect(_destIp.Text, port);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Unable to connect to [" + _destIp.Text + ":" + port.ToString() + "] ("+ex.Message+")");

            }

I am get the expected guide lines between the braces.

New Post: Guides not nessesarily based on idents

zooba — Thu, 19 May 2011 10:24:24 GMT

Having said that, it may fit in nicely with the regex-formatted guides that I'm planning on doing next. If not then I'll consider it.

Ah, nice idea. I'll have a little play and see if I can do it, I don't think it'll be that hard.

New Post: Guides not nessesarily based on idents

Polity — Sat, 14 May 2011 21:36:10 GMT

When writing a linq query, its common to place the different statements on seperate lines for clarity, e.g:

            return set.OrderBy(x => x.Priority)
                      .ThenByDescending(x => x.PriorityUpdated);

Can we get a guide at the dot?

New Post: Speed Improvement

JonSlaughter — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 16:03:15 GMT

It seems that the method of adding guides is based on the whole document. I'm not able to use guides for large files and must turn it off.

The speed of could be made independent of file size by only adding guides in the current view and assuming that those outside the view extend indefinitely. This would look just fine in 99% of the cases since tabs almost always for each guide. In fact a prescan or threaded scan could be used to determine the guide list if one wanted.

Would it be possible implement such a feature? I really like guides in that I can make them almost transparent but still have some idea where the tabs are but it's simply too slow for large files. (If I knew more about extensions I would try to do it myself)
