I frequently encounter a minor, but annoying, UI issue with Visual Assist X
in the Visual Studio 2013
development environment.
Often, after executing a Find References
command using VAX, I close the Find References Results pane by clicking its X close box, in order to make more room for the main editor.
Sometimes I want to re-open the pane without re-executing the Find References
search. In other words, the search is complete - I just want to re-display the pane with the results.
I have hunted meticulously through every menu, both Visual Studio
's View menu, and the Visual Assist X
menu. I cannot find any way to re-display the Find References Results pane.
Here are two screenshots that show the issue.
Before screenshot: "Find References Results" tab is displayed
After screenshot: "Find References Results" tab is hidden
How do I re-display Visual Assist X
's Find References Results pane within Visual Studio 2013
without re-executing the Find References
command?
(I know it's a small detail, but it's a nagging annoyance.)
The option does exist in the Visual Assist X
menu - but, unintuitively, it is under the Tools
sub-option in the menu.
So, to re-display Visual Assist X
's Find References Results pane (when it is hidden), go to VASSISTX
-> Tools
-> Find References Results
.
