#60 All and Common tabs on Intellisense (VB Only)

Once statement completion is up in Visual Basic context (sorry C-Sharpers) there is a tabbed view of options. One tab is Common (the default) and one tab is (ALL). You can switch between these tab from teh Keyboard – and this video quickly shows you how.

Press [ALT]+[.] to move to the All tab

Press [ALT]+[,] to move back to the Common tab

#59 Resize the Statement Completion Window

You can resize the statement completion dialog box from any direction, once it’s open, grab a side or a corner.

Interestingly, there are max and min heights (max is limited to 1/3 of screen size) and while there are no limits on the max width, only the height is persisted.

#58 How to increase the statement completion font size

Go to Tools – Options – Fonts and Colors. This is where you’re used to changing the font size, especially those of us that present with Visual Studio on a projector. When you change the editor font size to 20 for the audience to be able to read it, only the editor changes. This video will show you how to increase the font size on the Intellisence window that pops up for statement complete.
