Automatically hide LinqPad query

I wrote a simple tool to decode JWT tokens and I'd like to use it in a similar way as the Interactive Regex Evaluator.

Is there a way to either automatically hide a query (e.g., via the Util class) or to even register it to something like Ctrl+Shift+F2?

Solution

  • Unfortunately that functionality doesn't exist.

    You'll notice when using the Interactive Regex Evaluator it's opening the sample of the same name but doing extra work to hide the query panel. Looking at LinqPads code using it's own ILSpy, there's a method called LINQPad.UI.MainForm.miRegex_Click and it's calling the method LINQPad.UI.QueryControl.ToggleFullPaneResults which does that functionality but unfortunately the method is internal.

    If you'd like to suggest the feature head over to the LinqPad forums over at http://forum.linqpad.net/ and make the suggestion. Joseph is good at getting back to people.
