Overview: WizardBar

WizardBar is a dockable toolbar that provides instant access to some of the most powerful features in Visual C++, such as those traditionally available from ClassWizard, as well as many of the new ClassView functions. WizardBar extends ClassView functionality by "tracking" your context — updating what's displayed in the WizardBar toolbar when your focus shifts. For example, WizardBar changes its display to reflect when your cursor moves from one function to another in the Text editor.

WizardBar makes working with classes, members, and resources easier than ever — with the click of a button you can perform tasks such as:

• Adding a new class or form.
  
  
• Creating a new function, including message handling functions.
  
  
• Jumping to an existing function or method.
  
  
• Switching between a dialog box and the code that implements it.

To view WizardBar

• Click the right mouse button in an unused portion of the toolbar area, and select WizardBar in the shortcut menu that appears.

Note   WizardBar remains inactive unless you have a project open.
