Re: VB Editor and Moving Line Pointer



When the code is paused a line, use the arrow keys of move the cursor
up to the desired line. Then right-click with the right-click button
(between the right-side ALT and CTRL keys on a normal keyboard --
location differs from one laptop to the next) and choose "Set Next
Statement". This will have the same effect as dragging the yellow
execution line upwards in the code.

Hi to all

Many thanks for the suggestions.

However, the thing I am trying to do is drag the yellow cursor typically up
the code and it just does not "work" on the laptop - the step options are
not a complete solution because I often want to drag the yellow point UP the
code to run thru it again, using F8 etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Tim

Maybe you can use the keyboard.

After you've started stepping through the code, click on Debug on the
toolbar.

You'll see some options with their corresponding keyboard shortcuts.

Hi

I am editing and debugging code in the editor on a LAPTOP. The problem is
that using the left button touchpad mouse I am not able to drag the
yellow
pointer in "step-through" mode. All that happens when I press the left
button is that I get a new break-point. Apart from getting a conventional
mouse, is there a tip or workaround, please?

Many thanks

Tim
