Show popup code preview when the mouse is hovering over the method reference

created 16 years ago

Hello,
I'd like to suggest a capability in CodeRush where when I have method reference, i.e. "LoadData()" in another method (Form_Load) that I could hover my mouse over the "LoadData()" method and a popup preview of the code within "LoadData" would appear. This would prevent me from having to right-click "LoadData()" and select "Go to Definition" to view that code. Instead I could preview the code right there and not lose my place in a code review, etc.
Thx

Hi Neal,
I apologize for not updating the status of this ticket at a proper time.
We have added support for showing a member declaration code into the Click Identifier feature. You can now hover with the mouse over a method reference (and hold the Ctrl key down) and see its declaration code. I'm attaching a screenshot of the Click Identifier option page to show what options must be enabled for this feature.

      Attached is the screenshot and it doesn't underline in purple.

        Guys, you won't believe it.
        I restarted VS at least 5 times, now I took the grunge and restarted Windows - now it works.
        Wow…
