I work with several workbooks containing 10-15 Worksheets and several modules.
Whenever I open the VBA-Editor, or bring it back into focus, the project explorer has expanded the "Microsoft Excel objects" (mostly worksheets) and collapsed the moduls, which is exactly the opposite of what I want.
As I have about 15 Worksheets in each workbook, seeing all of them in the explorer makes it very impractical, as in the VBA-Editor i am mainly concerned about the code in the modules.
How can I change the default to: "Show modules and collapse 'Microsoft Excel objects' in the Project viewer"?
Edit: I added a picture, to show the unwanted default. Now i would like the default to be "Microsoft Excel Objects" collapsed and "Modules" expanded instead:
Edit: The solution provided a macro. To come close to the "default" I added it to the commandbar of the VBE, accessible with a shortcut-stroke as follows: I took the second part of the answer to mehow's question here and put it in a code module. Then I applied these instructions, to create the CommandBar entry. Then I Added the ampersand in front of the desired letter in the caption and now I can use Alt+t,t to collapse the Microsoft Excel Objects and open the rest.

Ok, so this isn't precisely what you want in that it won't do it as default, but I think it's as close as you're going to get and it's pretty nifty so here goes.
So I know the most awesome MZTools (http://www.mztools.com/v3/mztools3.aspx) has the ability to collapse all nodes in the treeview. Therefore, I searched a bit to find out how to manipulate the VBA Project treeview via Win32APIs. Most of the API calls I got from this page: http://btmtz.mvps.org/treeview/ (last update 1999!!).
From there it was just a matter of getting the right handles and doing the right checks. Note: The VBIDE window must be open (doesn't have to be visible) for this to work. I'd suggest perhaps creating a toolbar in the VBIDE and firing it as necessary.
It works for me in Office 2007/2010 32Bit on Windows 7, you'd have to modify the Win32APIs for 64Bit but that wouldn't be hard. You could also refine the collapsing/expanding for certain projects etc based on what you need.
This is the proceedure:
Sub CollapseVBIDETree()
Dim hwndVBIDE As Long, hwndVBAProj As Long, hwndTV As Long
Dim hwndCurrent As Long, hwndChildCurrent As Long
Dim bSuccessModule As Boolean, bSuccessElse As Boolean, sNodeName As String
'Find the handle of the VBEIDE window, down to the treeview in the project window
hwndVBIDE = FindWindow("wndclass_desked_gsk", vbNullString) 'VBIDE Window
hwndVBAProj = FindWindowEx(hwndVBIDE, 0&, "PROJECT", vbNullString) 'The Project - VBAProject Window
hwndTV = FindWindowEx(hwndVBAProj, 0&, "SysTreeView32", vbNullString) 'The Treeview in the VBAProject Window
'Get the handle of the Root of the Treeview
hwndCurrent = TreeView_GetRoot(hwndTV)
'Loop through all the children of the treeview. This is all the current VBA Projects.
'We can loop through until there are none left and a handle of zero is return
Do While hwndCurrent <> 0
sNodeName = GetTVItemText(hwndTV, hwndCurrent)
'Get the first child in the current project which is the 'Microsoft Excel Objects'
hwndChildCurrent = TreeView_GetChild(hwndTV, hwndCurrent)
'Set up a boolean to check if there is a 'Modules' child. If not, we'll collapse the whole project
bSuccessModule = False
'Loop through all the child nodes to find the 'Modules' node
Do While hwndChildCurrent <> 0
'Get the name of the node
sNodeName = GetTVItemText(hwndTV, hwndChildCurrent)
'If we find the Modules node then Expand it and flag it
If sNodeName = "Modules" Then
bSuccessModule = TreeView_Expand(hwndTV, hwndChildCurrent, TVE_EXPAND)
Else
'Otherwise collapse it
bSuccessElse = TreeView_Expand(hwndTV, hwndChildCurrent, TVE_COLLAPSE)
End If
hwndChildCurrent = TreeView_GetNextSibling(hwndTV, hwndChildCurrent)
Loop
'If we don't find a Modules child then collapse the entire branch for that project
If Not bSuccessModule Then
Call TreeView_Expand(hwndTV, hwndCurrent, TVE_COLLAPSE)
Else
'Some workbooks if collapsed would stay collapsed so make sure they are expanded
Call TreeView_Expand(hwndTV, hwndCurrent, TVE_EXPAND)
End If
'Move onto the next project
hwndCurrent = TreeView_GetNextSibling(hwndTV, hwndCurrent)
Loop
End Sub
