Visual Studio - displays the properties window in the design view, but hides as code

In design mode, everyone uses the Properties window. When we switch to viewing the code, we do not need a properties window.

Is it possible to automatically hide the properties window when entering the code in the design view?

there are 535 perfectionists like me. a small percentage, but we exist.

for vs2015:

  • Menu> Tools> Extensions and Updates
  • install "Visual Commander". (Now you have a new menu called "VCmd")
  • Menu> "VCmd"> Extensions ... (You will see the extension panel on the right)
  • Click the Add button in the Extensions panel. (A new WIndow tab opens.)
  • write a name for the extension.
  • choose a language like C #.
  • paste the following code:
  • Click "Save." Then click Compile. Then click Install

edit: the code will not do anything in xamarin.android projects (it behaved incorrectly)

using EnvDTE; using EnvDTE80; using System.Windows.Forms; using System; public class E: VisualCommanderExt.IExtension { private EnvDTE80.DTE2 DTE; private EnvDTE.WindowEvents windowEvents; public void SetSite(EnvDTE80.DTE2 DTE, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Package package) { this.DTE = DTE; DTE.Events.WindowEvents.WindowActivated += OnWindowActivated; } public void Close() { // DTE.Events.WindowEvents.WindowActivated -= OnWindowActivated; } private void OnWindowActivated(Window gotFocus, Window lostFocus) { //project_details(); HidePropertiesWindowInCodeOrTextView(gotFocus); } public void HidePropertiesWindowInCodeOrTextView(Window gotFocus) { //System.Windows.MessageBox.Show( gotFocus.Document.Name +"" ); if (isAndroidProject()) return; if (gotFocus.Document == null) return; var pwin = DTE.Windows.Item(Constants.vsWindowKindProperties); pwin.AutoHides = !gotFocus.Caption.EndsWith(" [Design]"); //pwin.AutoHides = true; // pwin.Activate(); } public bool isAndroidProject() { if (DTE == null || DTE.ActiveWindow == null) return false; var cp = DTE.ActiveWindow.Project; var AndroidApp = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(cp.FullName).Contains("AndroidApplication"); return AndroidApp; } }
