Visual Studio 2008 Filter Participants Dropdown

Question

He, along with my colleagues, does not know how to filter what is displayed in the Participants drop-down list in Visual Studio. This is a drop-down list that allows you to jump to various methods and functions depending on where you are located inside your project.

This is very useful to me, but it would be nice not to show a bunch of objects that I will never use; for example, when displaying all the shortcuts that I created on a Windows form.

Any ideas?

If you do not plan to reference the label anywhere in your code, you can change the GenerateMember property to false from the constructor. This will create a label locally inside the InitializeComponent method and will no longer appear in your list.
