Summary
You must use an extra click when returning focus from the Menu bar,
Toolbox, or the Properties bar to the current code window and then
attempting to either select text or set the insertion point. Contrary
to the standard Windows convention, which requires only one mouse
click and hold to accomplish this, Visual Basic 1.0 requires you to
click once to set the focus to the code window, and then again to
position the insertion point or select text.
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.
More Information:
To duplicate this problem, start with a new project in the Visual
Basic environment:
1. Double-click on Form1 to to open the Form1_Click procedure code
window.
2. Click on Visual Basic's Main menu, Properties bar, or Toolbox.
3. Try to position the insertion point or select text in the
Form1_Click code window. The first click merely shifts the focus
to the code window, but the insertion point is not positioned in
the window, nor is any text selected.
You must release the mouse button and click again to select text or
place the insertion point. The problem also occurs in the Copy/Paste
or Cut/Paste process. When you attempt to Paste, you must click a
second time to place the insertion point where desired for the Paste.
