Resizing the Select Branches “dialog”/semi-modal Panel in VS 2010 Branch Visualization

  • Article

 

One of the few annoying things about the Select Branches panel in Branch Visualization is that it looks like a modal dialog that cannot be moved or resized. We are going to address this in V.Next!  :)  Though not resizable, the panel can be “maximized” to fill the container document window to gain more space. Click the maximize button near the top right corner. While maximized, resizing the document window (by resizing VS, for example) also resizes the Select Branch panel. This technique gives you more screen real estate to work with the branch tree, list, and mini view.

Enjoy.
