    Quick navigation to functions

    Visual Studio editor:

    Is there any way (or add-in) that will give me a pop-up menu of function names in a source file (like in Metrowerks Codewarrior), so that I can jump directly to where that function is defined?

    Thanks.

    Ian

    Put mouse-cursor to a function-word and click
    right mouse-button. Select entry <go to definition> or <go to reference>. If function exist, the editor jumps to that file-line.
    --> You need for that feature the bsc-file.
    This file is created by visual-studio.

    That's one possibility, but only useful when the function name is already displayed somewhere on the screen. I wanted a pop-up menu listing them all, if possible.

    Does it have to be a pop-up?
    You have all of your functions listed in the Class View of your Workspace, groupped by classes and global functions / variables.
    What else do you need?

    I had thought that only worked for C++ code, but you are quite right. Now all I need is some way of getting it to display only the functions in the window I have foremost...
