Yet another blog about WPF, Surface, SL, MVVM, NUI....

When you have multiple projects in your solution, you often want to locate the active document in the solution explorer. There is a great option in Visual Studio which can do it for you all the time : “View.TrackActivityInSolutionExplorer”.

But if you do not want (as me) to turn it on all the time, there is no specific option or shortcut. So I have created a little macro which make my life easier. It simply turn on then off the option resulting by centering the active document in the solution explorer.

Here is the macro ( I put the Alt-T shorcut on it) :

Imports System
Imports EnvDTE
Imports EnvDTE80
Imports EnvDTE90
Public Module Utilities
Public Sub TrackProjectItem()
DTE.ExecuteCommand("View.TrackActivityInSolutionExplorer")
DTE.ExecuteCommand("View.TrackActivityInSolutionExplorer")
End Sub
End Module
