No Design Mode?

Postby awsupporter » December 31st, 2016, 2:37 pm

Hi everybody

I am evaluating PHP Tools with visual Studio as new Develompent Toolset for our PHP Websites. It works pretty fine so far, except for one Problem:

In all Videos and Screenshots I have seen there is a Design and Split Mode available as known from Visual Studio when using HTML Files (Open with HTML Editor with Webforms).

But if I open PHP Files with PHP Tools Solution, there is no Designmode available. I found some threads in this Forum according to this, all pointed to a proper Configuration of HTML Editor in Options / Tools / HTML-Designer (Extras/Optionen/Web-Forms-Designer in Visual Studio 2015 German) whitch has to be activated. Unfortunately, this Setting ist activated in our Environment, so this is not the point.

Any suggestions what I have to do to activate the Desin Mode for PHP Files including the Advantages of PHP Tools (of course I can always use the right mouse to select "open with / HTML-Editor with Webforms", but that does not really speed up my work....)?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello!

Thanks for the question. The design mode was available from VS2010 - VS2013 which was using old Microsoft HTML editor. Since VS2015 we are using new Microsoft HTML editor which doesn't support this, so we can't make it work as it was just removed by Microsoft.

I hope you understand.

Thanks,

"Design mode" was a Microsoft feature which was removed in Visual Studio 2015.
