Datasheet

❑ Tab Order — If the currently visible document is a form that contains controls, the Tab Order
command displays the tab order on top of each control. You can click the controls in the order
you want them to have to set their tab order’s quickly and easily.
❑ Toolbars — The Toolbars submenu lets you toggle the currently defined toolbars to hide or
display them. This submenu lists the standard toolbars in addition to any custom toolbars
you have created.
Tip: Rather than modifying standard menus and toolbars, hide them and create new ones to customize.
Then you can later restore the original standard menus and toolbars if necessary.
❑ Full Screen — The Full Screen command hides all toolbars and windows except for any editor
windows that you currently have open. It also hides the Windows taskbar so that the IDE occu-
pies as much space as possible. This gives you the most space possible for working with the files
you have open. The command adds a small box to the title bar containing a Full Screen button
that you can click to end full-screen mode.
❑ Property Pages — This command displays the current item’s property pages. For example, if
you select an application in Solution Explorer, this command displays the application’s property
pages similar to those shown in Figure 1-9.
Figure 1-9: The View menu’s Property Pages command displays an application’s property pages.
