Object Inspector - Start with nodes collapsed?
« on: Today at 12:42:36 pm »
When I select or open a form in the Form Designer, the Object Inspector defaults to showing the entire tree hierarchy expanded.  I find this makes it difficult for me to find the bit of the form I'm interested in, especially if there are complex components with many nodes, such as SynEdit, present on the form.  There can be a lot to scroll through.

Is there an option to have the Object Inspector default to 'all nodes collapsed' initially, so that I can then expand just the part I'm currently working on?  I haven't spotted anything in the right-click context menu, but maybe there's a keyboard shortcut I'm unaware of?

I guess the ideal might be: when I select a component on the form, just that part of the Object Inspector tree expands, and all other nodes auto-collapse.  That way the Object Inspector always stays focused on the task at hand.  At least in my head that sounds like a good idea...
