How can I automatically expand all collapsed Regions in my code?

[RotorTorque]

Hi all,
I have a VB2005 application. In my app. I have a form with hundreds of lines of code. To make it easy to edit I have divided the code into various regions.
For example"

<CODE>
#REGION "SAVE"

Public Sub Save() Implements TargetLogistics.IForm.Save
Try
Call SaveCOB()
MsgBox("Save was successful.")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Save Failed.")
End Try
End Sub

#END REGION
</CODE>

I usually have all my regions collapsed. Is there a setting that I need to set so that when I first open the editor all the regions are expanded?

Thanks in advance,
RotorTorque

I'm not sure about a setting to make it expand your code by default, but in your code, you can right click, select Outlining, and click on the Toggle All Outlining option to expand/collapse all of the code.

I could tell you how to collapse them all, but I'm not sure there is a way to expand them all.

Thanks rjoubert and SiriusBlackOp for your quick responses. I will try rjoubert's suggestion.

CTRL + M = Collapse
CTRL + L = Expand (Toggle)

This is listed in the Edit>Outlining menu, but you must be on a code page.

I hope this helps.

RonRepp, I just tested it and it doesn't expand or collapse regions... it just expands and collapses the code.
