Yep. I've been askedfor this too! Apparently it's something VS does better than eclipse.
The screenshots look great, it'd be good to see some patches as well :) On 1 Oct 2009, at 21:40, John Cortell < john.cortell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
I think our customers would like to see the registers in this layout.
Other debuggers I've worked with typically display registers in that more
condensed fashion.

One of the features
requested from our users is to display registers in a grid layout.
This would allow users to look at more registers as they�re debugging
their code. This feature makes a much better use of the empty space
typically displayed in Registers view. As indicated in the attached
snapshot, the captured registers view displays about 13 registers when
it�s in �tree layout�. However, switching to �grid layout� allows
the user to view more than 30 registers at the same time.
I�ve already implemented this feature without modifying Platform/CDT
code. When grid layout is selected, I replace the content/label
providers used by the tree viewer in Registers view. The current
TreeModelViewer and label provider used by Registers view automatically
assume that each register will be displayed on a new row. By
replacing the providers, I �trick� the viewer into displaying multiple
registers on the same row. My solution is not very clean or
efficient. To come up with a better solution, I�d have to implement
it at a lower level (i.e. either at platform or CDT/DSF layer).
The purpose of this e-mail is to see who else in the community would be
interested in such a feature. If there is enough interest, I can
submit an enhancement (along with my code) and with the help of the
community we can come up with the ideal
solution.
