Stop Outlining not working in VB

[ivaylo.hristov]

Hi,

I am developing application in VB and I it seems that the Outlining
option is not working. On the same studio writing a C# application the
Stop Outlining option is working just fine, but in VB it is not.
Is it a Visual Studio bug?
Any workarounds?

Thanks

You will have to restart the IDE in order to see the change. This works
just fine here on VS.NET 2003.

I am using Visual Studio 2003 Version 7.1.3088.
I've restarted the IDE and the problem persists.
Could it be something from the options.

Mhm... Which options have you set? Are you sure you set the options in the
"Basic" category of the IDE?

BTW: Even with outlining turned off regions will remain collapsible.

I have tried different combinations of the VB Specific options, but it
has no results.

The main problem is that I am dealing with some awfully written code
that has more than 50 regions in a class and it is really irritating to
oppen all regions just to see one method. In C# I could easy expand all
reagions and have a clear view of all the code just by using "Stop
outlining"

Right-click in the text editor, choose "Outline" -> "Toggle outlining" (or
similar, translated from the German version). This will expand all regions
if they are initially collapsed.

Well, it is not working. That is the problem. I hit "Toogle outlining"
and nothing happends. I hit "Stop outlining" this is not working
either.

I am not able to reproduce this behavior with VS.NET 2003 Enterprise
Architect running on Windows XP Professional SP2. Everything is working as
expected.
