While coding often I need to switch between currently selected code view and its respective design view.

To do this I have to always reach for the mouse. Is there any shortcut key that will allow me to switch between design view and code view easily?

TIA

Hi,

CTRL+TAB ?

Kind regards,

Ctrl+Tab will navigate windows base on the sequence they were accessed.

In my case I generally access code views/windows first and then if necessary I would like to go to the design view of that particular code view/window.

So in case of Ctrl+Tab I will traverse between the code views/windows but not between current code view/window and its respective design view/window.

Like for example in case of Delphi it is F12 key that will toggle between code and design views.

This feature is best implemented in VB6 where we can switch between design and code views by pressing F7 and Shift+F7. In VB6 if you have selected a control and you press F7 it will take you to that particular controls events in code view.

I know one can use F2 and Ctrl+F2 but that is very limited as F2 can also allow one to jump to a particular procedure/function or variable declaration in code. So if I have performed a few F2 operations then I will have to press that many Ctrl+F2 which will be time consuming and confusing also.

Hi Yogi,

Have you tried Ctrl+Alt+F2

It works in WD18, but I haven't tried it in WD17.

Thanks
Ned!

Thanks for the hint but...

This short cut do not work in WD17. <img src="/NG2013_WEB/ui/smiley/2.gif" align=absmiddle border=0 alt=":(">

I was wondering if there are any possibilities of being able to create AddOns to the IDE and some how install them in the IDE to enhance it. Is there something like this possible in WD?

TIA
