Title: split screen file view & dbg variables view (tree -> tabbed table)
Post by: roshi on September 25, 2008, 08:58:50 am

Hi,
does C::B supports two views (split screen) of the same file.
I think that would be convenient. I don't know wxw but it should be easy to implement.
Anyone agrees? (anyone with some free time and some insight on that part of the src?)

Also, I think that the variables view (while debugging) would be better if it changed from a list (tree) view/widget to a table view like as in visual studio used to be (at least visual studio 6 was if I remember correctly).
This one should also be easy to deal with.
Additionally I think that a this view would also benefit it it used a tabbed view also like in VC6.
I wonder if that thing is copyrighted...
someone agrees? Ideas?

Ok forget the first part. hehe
Just noticed that one can slip the view by left clicking on it.
after 4 years using C::B I finally discovered this one.
been sleeping all this time.
Maybe the other one also exists? (not?)

then again, the view could be just split by just dragging a tiny handle near the top right conner of the view (just above the slider arrow).
and the view should start showing the file from the same line as the original view.
(am I posting in the right place?)

Yes. Right-click in the source notebook, select "Split view...." -> "Horizontally/Vertically".

Similar question... is there some way to view two different source files side-by-side? I always end up using gedit to view the header file while using the codeblocks editor to view the source file. I have this big-honkin widescreen monitor and a lot of space is going to waste because I can't seem to view two different files at the same time.

I wonder that too!

If you would have searched the forum before you would know, that we are currently testing a patch that enables such feature. :?
