visual studio .net ide: I would like to ask, if we could get a tooltip in the Solution Explorer. When
hovering over a filename.

The reason for asking, is the need to be able to see the whole path to the
file, since treeview isn't the optimal way to show this structure, without
moving, especially, when we have large number of files and folders in the
hierarchy.

I know there is a way to show the full path using the Properties, but this
is concatenated depending on the width of the Full Path fields.

If, you don't want to add this feature to the Tree View control, I would
suggest you get control of wrapping the tooltip when text doesn't fit into
the tooltip area of the Properties Window.

Thanks for listening.

Perhaps this will help: if you open the file, you can get the full path by
hovering over the file's tab.

Hi Andrew,

At the time of the request, I only had turned on one Display, and Visual
Studio was overlapping the right edge of the primary display, hence I got a
cut version of the tooltip.

The truth is, that I can see the full path in the Properties Pane, and
hovering the Full Path will show the whole path as I expected. I was simply,
making a mistake not turning on the second display- silly me :o)
