The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

GeneralDragging Hairlines to Widen Fields Pin

I just discovered, quite by accident, that if you drag the hairline at the right end of the value property of the list box that displays the names and values of the MsBuild macros, the hairline keeps moving to the right even when you drag outside the bounds of the control. Thus, you can keep dragging until it is sufficiently wide to show the end of the property of interest, such as, in my case, $(ProjectDir).
