Hello gang, I just discovered the imagemap control in Visual Studio 2008. I'm familiar with the imagemap concept from HTML, I'm just used to having editors that allow you to select areas visually, like drawing a hotspot on the image itself, and the software generates the HTML itself. But I can't do that in Visual Studio, and I have about...

In the Solution Explorer when working with C++ projects there is the standard filters of Header Files, Resource Files, and Source Files. What I'm wanting to accomplish is essentially Filters by folder.
