Summary:
Under certain circumstances, using a split window in the Visual Basic
environment can hide the code, which results in a run-time error.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Visual Basic
programming system version 1.0 for Windows. We are researching this
problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
To work around the problem, use step 8 shown below.
More Information:
The following example demonstrates a problem using split screens
in Microsoft Visual Basic programming system version 1.0 for Windows:
1. Start Visual Basic, and from the File menu choose New Project.
2. Using the mouse, double-click on Form1; the Code window will
display.
3. From the Code window, press the Maximize button so the entire
screen displays Form1's Code window.
4. Select the split window bar, and click and drag the split
window down to about two inches from the bottom of the screen.
5. The Sub Form_Click() should be displayed in the lower half of the
split window. Enter the following code:
Sub Form_Click()
Print 1/0 'enter this line
End Sub
6. Now run the sample code by choosing Start from the Run menu or
by pressing the F5 function key.
7. After choosing Start from the Run Menu, click the Form1 window;
a "Division by zero" error will display. The error occurs because
of the "Print 1/0" statement coded above, but you cannot see the
line of code where the error occurred.
8. If you click on the Maximize button for FORM1.FRM, you will see that
the error occurs on the Print 1/0 statement. Use this method to work
around the problem.
