The code editor has a button that hides all items in the browser that have no code in them. This comes in handy when you are working on a window that has lots of controls that don’t have code in them. The downside is that when you want to add code to an item that has no code, you have to click the Show/Hide empty items button in the code editor, find the item you wish to add code to, add your code then click the button again to hide the empty items.

Fortunately, there is a better solution. The code editor has a contextual menu that gives you access to all of the items and their events regardless of whether they have code or not. So, you can hide the empty items and then use the code editor's contextual menu to access the hidden items and their events.

Thanks to Dave Grogono for submitting this tip.
