Visual Studio 2013 C++ outlining / collapsing if/else/while code regions

Question

Apparently in VS13 they removed the outlining section in Option -> Text Editor -> C++ -> Formatting.

Is there a way of collapsing if/while/etc statements in VS2013 C++? I know about the C# plugin and already got that, but I'm searching for a solution for a C++ enviroment.

Cheers!

It is still there, Text Editor -> C++ -> View, Outline Statement Blocks. — Hans Passant, Dec 28 '13 at 23:18
Thanks, can't believe I missed that. I've gone to the hassle of creating an extension that would solve that based on the C# 2013 Outline one . . . — AndrewVS2013, Dec 29 '13 at 01:15
Hmm, could have sworn it was nothing but a silly oversight. Let's not document *every* IDE setting in plain sight that somebody is going to overlook some day. — Hans Passant, Dec 29 '13 at 16:12
@Hans: I agree but that's a problem with the question that I don't think should result in answers being posted as comments instead. I'm not aware of any "only post _comments_ to questions of which you disapprove" rule. The Q&A format stands in such situations, unless you opt to close-vote instead. — Lightness Races in Orbit, Dec 29 '13 at 16:24

What edition of VS13 you are using? (I mean Express/Community/Pro etc) — Snehasish Sarkar, Dec 02 '16 at 11:44

For Visual Studio 2013,

Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C++ -> Formatting -> Outline Statement Blocks -> Enabled.

In my case I have VS2013 Professional, this solves the problem. – Snehasish Sarkar Dec 02 '16 at 11:41
