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. – Frottage

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 . . . – Cairistiona

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. – Frottage

@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. – Clevey

What edition of VS13 you are using? (I mean Express/Community/Pro etc) – Rosauraroscius

In my case I have VS2013 Professional, this solves the problem. – Rosauraroscius
