View Menu

The menu for showing the auxiliary panels of the work screen or moving focus to them. It covers two things: the result panel at the bottom and the Solution Explorer on the side.

Use this menu or its shortcuts when you have closed a panel during work and want to bring it back. The menu path is View at the top of the main window.

Items

Both items act as toggles: they show a hidden panel and move focus to it.

View Result List

Shows and focuses the result panel at the bottom of the work area. The result panel consists of three tabs: Output, Error List, and Search_List.

  • Output — accumulates messages emitted during the build and run process.
  • Error List — lists errors and warnings found at compile time; double-click an item to jump to its location.
  • Search_List — shows search results as a tab per query (up to 10).

See Output / Error / Search Panel for the detailed behavior of each tab. This is your route for bringing the panel back to check errors after a build or to jump to search results.

View Solution Explorer

Shows the Solution Explorer on the left of the work area. The Solution Explorer presents the project's components as a tree, and double-clicking a node opens that item in a center tab.

You can hide it with the close (X) button at its top-right, and use this menu or Ctrl + Shift + E to show it again. Drag the panel edge to adjust its width.
