I could find a use for this.

It's half finished - http://www.esenthel.com/download/temp/he...rowser.mp4

Let me know what you think.

Looks great already... can you change to background colors aswell?

yeah, there will be 2 color themes (native c++ like on screenshot, and turbo pascal style like on video)

Looks great

Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't see how this tool is useful?

The time you'd spend opening the Esenthel tools folder, opening the tool, finding the file you want and browsing for the function or type you want would be far longer than just right clicking in VS and hitting Go To Definition...

wait once it's ready, and you will try it out, I'm testing it now, and feels much more comfortable to browse the headers

Can you parse $(CurText) and use a key binding to call the external tool, parsing it to the header tool from within VisualStudio, and have them as command-line inputs to the header browser (or something)?

or have it access stuff from the clipboard etc

could you be more specific? how does it work?

I've only ever used it with AStyle (source formatting) - to parse the inputs you do this:

1) Go to Tools->External Tools.
2) Click Add
3) Make the title Astyle
4) Make the command: C:\cygwin\bin\astyle.exe (Assuming you installed Cygwin to C:\cygwin\bin)
5) Make the arguments: --style=ansi --style=ansi -t -S $(ItemPath) (Or whatever arguments you like. Check the arguments here: Astyle Documentation)
6) Click apply.

Gotta sleep now

Thanks, I'll check it

Yeah, that works nice! just added it

Looks cool. Probably I'll use this, because when I have external project for my game and I want to look headers in Visual I have got info that for example file doesn't exit (maybe it has been removeded saveral versions ago). Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but Header Tool is very tempting alternative

A good addition to the header browser is the byew type of the Gui Object. For example, when I pass over the Combo Box, it shows an image of default comboBox to be drawn, like this http://unity3d.com/support/documentation...trols.html

It can also be added to the documentation. For me it will be very helpfull because sometime I find myself going to the Gui Editor just to see the Gui Object draw.
