Did you know... You can view an error's help documentation directly from the Error List? - #182

If you right-click on an error in the error list, you'll see a context menu pop up with Show Error Help. 

Show Error Help in Error List

Clicking on this command will launch the external help documentation viewer (dexplorer) to that specific error.

Doesn't work for me. VS2008 std. ed. I get "Sort By," "Show Columns," separator, and "Copy;" no "Show Error Help." Is there a checkbox somewhere in Tools/Options that enables this? Or does it require VB? I'm using C++/CLI. Error C3366.  Maybe it works only on certain error numbers?
