I am just getting started with Visual Studio Code. I am really liking it better than the full Visual Studio, but I was wondering how to show the object browser?
Along the left icon bar where I would expect it to be, all I see is Explorer, Search, Source Control, Run, and Extensions. Then at the bottom are Accounts and Settings.
How do I show the object browser? Is there a setting somewhere, or do I need to install an extension, or what?
I found it.
Just in case anyone is as blind as I am and stumbles across this question:
Under the "Explorer" button on the left. Way down at the bottom there is an "OUTLINE" section. Twirl that open and there it is!
Because I could not find it using the explanation above, I found the Object Browser under the View menu, somewhere at the middle of the list.
Or...you can press CTRL+ALT+J

I am a newcomer when it comes to Unity. I was following along with this online course. At one point, I had to write a C# script. So, I created one and doubled clicked it to edit it with Visual Studio. However when Visual Studio opened, all I could see was a essentially a blank screen. I couldn't see any code. Does anyone know the fix?
Thank you
Did you create it inside like this ... In Unity>ProjectWindow>AssetsFolder>RightClick>Create>C#Script.Then double click to open it.It will open up a script containing Start() and Update() method.If you could not find this.Restart and try.This is to test and try script for Unity scripting.
So this is way too late for the original post but maybe someone else will find this useful. So you did everything you were supposed to and even see the automated code with everything it should have in the inspector, but when you go and run the code whether clicking the actual script in the asset>scripts or clicking the open button in the inspector the same problem persists... blank uneditable screen.
I think you may just need to run updates on Visual Studio and/or if on a Mac maybe you need to log back into Microsoft. To do this just click the Visual Studio tab and click check for updates. Usually, you will also see an update suggestion in the top center of the screen. Run the updates and let it restart visual studio. Once you reopen visual studio at this time if you are on a Mac it should ask you to log into Microsoft. Your code might show up now.
I have a code with many comments, how can I hide these ones, but no delete, I need them after.
I need to hide all the comments in one click, not a simple collapse one
Can't find such feature as well.
Read this issue from GitHub - https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/46505
Seems like that VSCode can't do it (from the box) and all people waiting for that feature.
I was looking for a way to do that too as I put way too many comments making it hard to debug... and I came across this https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eliostruyf.vscode-hide-comments it makes all the comments invisible, but it leaves special characters in place. There are also commands to toggle show/hide.
Hide Comments - Visual Studio Marketplace
We now have an extension for that. On the editor title, a toggle action is available to show/hide the comments quickly.
You can download from inside Visual Studio 2022 called unobtrusive code and it will hide all comments and put "+" symbols on the collapsed line to the left of your code that you can open or close them with. It works great.
*** TO GET THE EXTENSION: ***
I went to the Extensions menu at the top of VS 2022 and chose manage extensions.
Then in the manage extensions window that opens up, choose online then Visual Studio Marketplace. In the search at the top right of the manage extensions window type in unobtrusive code. download it and then exit Visual Studio. You should see a window pop up to install it.
When you start VS 2022 again and open a C# script, it should have all the comments minimized to the "plus symbols" to the left of the code!
Hope it works for anyone wanting to hide their comments.
I've encountered a very strange bug with Microsoft Visual Studio Code. I've been using VSCode for a few months now and never had this issue. When I open VSCode, the window just doesn't appear. The app is definitely open, because when I hover over the icon on my taskbar I can see what is being displayed in the app:
Unfortunately, when I click on it, the window does not appear.... I've uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted cache, tried older versions and nothing has worked. Has anyone else encountered this and fixed it? Any advice?
hover over VSCode icon in taskbar
right click on it
click on "New Window"
That should do it.
I had something similar. It appears that the window is just off-screen. I've used my DisplayFusion display manager - to move windows to center/top where I could handle it myself. I expect it'll also work using <Win> + <←> (maximize window to left side of screen).
In my case, the issue went away when uninstalling the GlassIt-VSC extension. I tried modifying the opacity of the window and then it disappeared. I highly suggest you try uninstalling this extension.
In my case I had connected HDMI cable but due to power off my monitor was off, but when I disconnected hdmi cable; VS code visible on my screen.
Got the answer since no one was helping.
Go to view.
Click solution explorer.
It should show the name of your project.
Click the small arrow at the beginning of the heading of your project.
Click source files.
Click yourproject.cpp.
Thank you.
I encountered a similar issue with a plugin called GlassIt while I was playing with a property called "glassit.alpha" somehow it went to 1 (possibly I changed it accidentally) and nothing showed up. (here's an image where you can slightly see that I set alpha to 20)
what i did was to just edit the %appdata%\..\Roaming\Code\User\Settings.json and set "glassit.alpha": 1, to 255
UPDATE I just realised there was already an answer I didn't see while I was writing this post
I had this issue during a remote desktop session and could bring the VSC window back via hitting F11 (via the onscreen keyboard in my case, since the F11 key on my keyboard was being captured by the host system).
In my case, I have a dual monitor setup, and the laptop was in clamshell mode. However, the laptop's built-in monitor was recognized as a third monitor, and VsCode was going there.
The project I'm developing for recently switched to .Net4.5 and Visual Web GUI 10.0.4 and a context menu item that works in Firefox doesn't work in IE11 (our official supported' browser).
I can't post images here yet, so here's a link:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/oIEca4l.png[/img]
notice that the firefox windows has 'invoice together' while the IE window has arrows in a box, and that's it.
Here are all the properites for the menu item:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/vHB4Ak6.png[/img]
The only reference to it in the code is displaying a message box when the 'invoice together' is clicked.
I'm thinking it's an IE display issue, but I'm curious to know if anyone knows a way to fix it?
Thanks
I experienced the same or most probably very similar issue on one of several virtual machines. I have content menu on ListView control. There was no visible menu items' text and there were left and right arrow sliders on the menu.
The web site worked fine on FF, Chrome. Interesting thing was that this context menu problem was not reproduced on other virtual machines with IE11. Only on single one. IE version 11.0.9600.18053 / 11.0.24 (kb3093983) was used on all test machines.
I noticed a slight difference in font's rendering also. Font's size seems smaller.
What I did was applying back IE's default settings and restarting client's machine. This somehow fixed the context menu and font's rendering.
My self explanation is that something in "get font and render it" communication between browser and client OS went wrong. From this came wrong looking menu with sliders.
Hope this helps!
Reduce fonts size on IE, it would help.
Is there a way in Eclipse to show the methods in a drop down on top of your screen? Like they do in visual studio.
I know I can press Ctrl-O
I just find the visual studio way handy.
Alt-Shift-B will bring up the Breadcrumb, which might be close to what you're looking for. If you click the arrow icons you'll get dropdowns for the packages, classes or methods.
Even if there is no exact same way in eclipse you might find the feature to expand classes in the Package Explorer useful:
