Collapse all inactive preprocessor blocks in Visual Studio

Question

I am working with some third-party code that has a lot of conditional macros. Visual Studio is quite good at detecting the inactive code, i.e. code wrapped in #if...#endif that won't be compiled and I can manually collapse these individually.

I would like to hide the inactive blocks automatically - all of them. Is this possible?

EDIT: is this possible with VS2012? May be a reason to upgrade.

Answer 1

I am not aware of a way to automatically collapse, but there is definitely a setting to hide inactive blocks.

The setting is under Tools->Options->Text Editor->C/C++->View

From there, just change "Show Inactive Blocks" to False.
