WPF Visual Designer (code name Cider) Tip 1: Turn Snapline Off
Applies to Visual Studio 2008 Beta2.
By default, Snapline is on when you perform such actions as move or resize control, or move grid lines. But there are two options to turn snapline off.
- To keep the snapping behavior without showing snaplines, you use SHIFT+CTRL keyboard modifier. (Note1)
- To turn off snapping behavior altogether (and of course see no snaplines), you use ALT keyboard modifier. (Note 2)
Note 1: SHIFT+CTRL modifier also turns on Alignment Visual with which you can easilly tell what the HorizontalAlignment and VerticalAlignment value are.
Note 2: If you release ALT key before mouse is released, you are likely to hear a Beep. If you do not want to hear it all the time, release mouse first and then ALT key.
