Is it possible to close a Tab Group without closing a file?
In Visual Studio, in the Windows menu we can create horizontal and vertical Tab Groups. I am unable to close a Tab Group without closing a file also.
We have not yet installed SP1 and if it has fixed the problem, then I am sorry for bothering people with this. This is a minor issue but I wanted to ask in case there is something I missed.
Hmm... never used Tab Groups but I see that in the Window menu there are 2 commands: Move to Previous Tab Group and Move to Next Tab Group which allows for a document to be moved to another tab group. When a tab group becomes empty it automatically disappears. In addition you can drag a document tab from one tab group to another using the mouse.
Yes that works. I can move the files among Tab Groups and windows do close when they become empty.
Tab Groups are variations of split screens, which I used in VC 6 and prior.
As for the menu items to move the files, I always assumed that simply changed which window was active; such as the equivalent of a F6 or Ctrl-F6 key. Since I did not know that files could be moved among Tab Group windows, I did not think to drag files.
Tab groups work in strange ways but I won't explain what I mean by that. Now that I understand them better, they are more useful for me.
