Does the VC++ Express editor have a tool for finding matching braces
or parenthesis?

Thanks,

Put the cursor to the left of the close brace/paren, and the open
brace/paren will be subtly bolded. Same if you put the cursor right of
the open brace/paren.

Then again, I still use emacs for win32 as my main editor. Just
tell DevStudio to not whine about externally modified files that
haven't been edited in DevStudio, and you can use your favorite 3rd
party editor just fine.

Thanks Scott. Used that combo years ago with National Instruments
LabWindows CVI but could not remember it to try it. I was trying % but
I believe that was from the vi editor. This is most handy when the
pair spans more than a screenful.
