Using the Forms Window and Code Windows

The Forms window displays a list of forms and modules in the project. The main purpose of the Forms window is to organize your forms and modules so that you can open code windows. The Forms window also enables you to jump to a specific procedure within an open code window. To open a code window, double-click the form or module that contains the code you want to view. To jump to a specific procedure, double-click the procedure name.

Each code window consists of a central area that displays code for the form or module, a margin that displays status indicators, and a title bar that shows the name of the selected form or module.

Because your application must be compiled before you can debug it, you cannot edit code directly in the code window. Instead, you can make changes to your code in the IDE while the debugger is active. After you finish editing your code in the IDE, you must exit and restart the debugger to recompile your application and see the changes.
