Get Rid Of Task List for GOOD?

[tpremore]

Ok hot shots: REAL easy one for you...
ready?
I want to *completely* turn off the task list window in Visual Studio. I don't care if I EVER see that thing again. How do I do it.

...

heh, hehe - Not as easy as you thought, huh?

I'll be at tpremore@ideorlando.org if you can crack this disaster of a non-feature.

Thanks guys!

Hi Travis

I don't mean to be facetious but don't you just need to click the x in the top right hand corner. Seems to work ok for me...

bert,
Ok, ok, I can see that conclusion, but no, it doesn't solve the problem. It automatically pops back up every time a build is done an there are errors or warnings or something it wants to tell you about - EVEN if you "X" it.

try this
view --> show tasks then select what you want to show, you probably have All selected, change it to build errors.
hth,

cappmgr,
Did this actually work for you? Build errors is already what I had for my selection. Try building something that has compile errors. I bet the task list pops back up. Infernal thing. If not, you have another setting different from mine that we must find!

You are right the build errors show, but that is all that shows and I really need that. To stop it from popping up toggle the auto hide and make the widow as small as possible than all you will see is task list window header.
Sorry, I do not know how to remove it completely.

Oh but don't you just love the build errors anyway...? "ah there is a problem with my code, I'll double click on the warning and automagically appear on the culprit code to fix it". Lovely jubbly. I dont' think you can get rid completely so you may as well learn to love it ;-) Sorry I can't be more help.
