	Hello! I am a new user of Visual Micro, but some years ago I have used Visual Studio for tiny C# projects. I'd like to know whether there is any way to find out in VS, how Arduino built-in functions (e.g tone(), or LiquidCrystal::begin) work inside. In other way, I'd like to peek into to .cpp files easily, not by browsing and opening them from Windows browser. Is there any way? A right-click context menu (go to definition, and declaration do the same, showing just the .h header file)? And another quesion, that can I configure the Object browser somehow to browse the Arduino libraries? The member functions, its parameters, return values etc. I hope I am understable Thank you in advance. Peter

	Hi, You are right, the VS object browser and code explorers work better with library sources directly in the project but it is confusing for new users. So it's an option... Click the "Project" menu at the top of the Visual Studio Ide, "Project>Show all Arduino files" this will include the libraries and core cpp sources into the VS project as you requested. Click the menu item again to remove the sources from the project. info: The VS project and the compiler are two different things, the compiler will only look at the sketch on disk and compile what is allowed for Arduino, the VS project can include anything that helps with intellisense/code explorers and will not affect the compile.
