close port button

[computer]

Hi,

I often program chips using the Programming Editor, and then control them using VBApps.

Unfortunately the Programming editor seems to always hold the comm port open, so when I switch to controlling it using VB I have to close the programming editor. This can be time consuming and fustrating!

What I think we should have is a toolbar button that releases control of the port selected so that other apps can use it, and then it will automatically take control when its asked to download again.

This would be a simple, but useful feature!

Also, another useful feature would be colourcoding and function tooltips.

Ie, if I type "pwmout(" then as I get to that point a tooltip appears telling me the variables that are needed and a basic indication of what they are/called. Like in Dreamweaver.
