<h2>
Overview</h2>
<p>The following is a reference of available WndTabs commands. These
commands are distributed (by default) between the main WndTabs menu and the tab
context (right-click) menus. Users of WndTabsExt can <a href="CustomizeCommands.html"> create and customized
menus</a> using these commands.</p>

file is selected, the header file will be opened, and vice-versa.

<p><a href="WndTabsExt.html"><img border="0" src="WndTabsExt.gif" width="79" height="23"></a><br>
Under certain configurations, this command can leave the tab's entire

Group</font></b>
</td>
<td align="center">
W</td>
<td>
<p>Closes the tab's corresponding window. Also closes every file in this
tab's file group.
</p>
<p>This has the same effect as using the Extension Module to close a tab
group (see <a href="idh_use_group_ops.html">"Use Group Operations
When Shared Tab Section Is Clicked"</a>), but is available to
non-registered users.
</p>
<p>In general, a <b>file group</b> is a group of files with the same
extension. The exact definition of a group depends on the options selected
in the "Advanced" dialog. (Customization of group definitions is
available only to registered users.)

<p>This command is usually used on resource windows. When issued, the

a text editor.<br>
You can also use this command on files that DevStudio mistakenly opened as
binary files.
</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> Attempting to issue this command on a real binary file
will cause the file's window to close. (You will not loose any information
because WndTabs prompts to save modified files before it attempts to close
and reopen a window.)

redistributed so that the left-most tab gets the number "1", the second

Current Directory</a></font></b>
</td>
<td align="center">
DS</td>
<td>
<p>This feature sets a file's directory as DevStudio's current directory.
When DevStudio displays file names, it shows their directory relative to
its current directory. So if we begin with the following files:
</p>
<p align="center">
<img border="0" src="tabdir1.gif" width="500" height="25">
</p>
<p>and use "Set Current Directory" on <em>AICLoader.cpp</em>,
we'll get the following result:
</p>
<p align="center">
<img border="0" src="tabdir2.gif" width="500" height="25">
</p>
<p>These paths will show in the DevStudio's "Window" menu, and
on the tabs themselves, as shown above (unless the "Strip Path From
Files" option is used).
</p>

<td><b><font face="Courier New" color="#004080">Shell Context (menu)</font></b></td>
<td align="center">F</td>
<td>
<p>This is the same menu that you get when you right-click on the file
in an Explorer window. The exact content of this menu depends on the
configuration of your system. The most popular uses for the menu are
accessing the "Send To..." submenu and accessing menu items
added by version control programs.</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><b><font face="Courier New" color="#004080">Toggle MSDN Window</font></b></td>
<td align="center">M</td>
<td>
On systems where the <a href="http://fly.srk.fer.hr/~gmit/smarthelp.htm">SmartHelp</a>
addin (version 2.04 or above) with DevStudio integration is installed,
this command will allow you to toggle the integrated MSDN window on and
off.<br>
The command is disabled on systems without SmartHelp.
