Hi,

is there a possibility in VStudio.NET 2003 to set a virtual line end
(e.g. after 80 chars) so I can see a vertical drawn line at this point?

Thx

Karsten,
That is one of the many, many nice features provided by the Visual Assist add-in from Whole
Tomato Software. I've been using their add-in for years, and now I can't imagine working without
it!

Ok, ich habs raus.

Man gehe in die Registry in folgenden Schlüssel

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Text Editor

Dort lege man eine neue Zeichenfolge namens "Guides" an.

Diese bekommt folgenden Wert

RGB(128,0,0) 100

Dann kommt nach 100 Zeichen diese Hilfslinie. Man kann auch mehrere
Hilfslinien vereinbaren

RGB(128,0,0) 95, 100

I've got it.

Go to your registry to the key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\Text Editor

create a new string named "Guides"

set the value to

RGB(128,0,0) 80

Then a line will be drawn at 80 chars.

You can also use mor than one line

RGB(128,0,0) 80, 100
