VS 2008 Pro - Where is the Solution Explorer
Hi Folks:
Developing on XP Home, VS 2008 Pro, C++, WIN32 no MFC.
Service Pack 1 has been applied to VS 2008, but no other
patches.
I'm reasonably pleased with VS 2008, but it has a few
"Features" I haven't figured out.
Every once in a while I'll try to open a window, like
Output, Call Stack or Solution Explorer, and it won't
display. Close examination will show an edge of the
desired window peeking out from an edge of the desktop,
and grabbing that edge will allow me to pull the window
into view.
When I click on "View" in the menu bar and "Solution
Explorer" in the drop down, nothing pops up in any visible
part of the desktop or the Visual Studio window.
For those unfamiliar with VS 2008, the Solution Explorer
is the window that displays all of the source and header
files in the projects of the solution for the user to select
as a file to be edited.
It's kind of important, and without it I have to go
through some convoluted actions to edit the file I want.
Any idea about how to get the Solution Explorer to
display?
Thanks
Larry

Thanks David:
I was having that problem while working in the release
mode, editing, compiling, and testing in release mode.
When I decided to do some serious debugging I did a
debug build, and there was the Solution Explorer, docked
against the right edge of the Studio frame.
I have tried to duplicate the problem, when doing a
release build, and have been unable to do so. View -
Solution Explorer brings up the Solution Explorer.
I'm having trouble understanding your instructions.
The Studio's system menu does pop up, but I don't see
anything that connects anything in the menu with the
Solution Explorer.
Anyway, it's working now.
I appreciate your advice David. I'm a regular at
the Win32 group, this is my first post to the studio
groups.
