Frequently Asked Questions
How do I set breakpoints in Classic Visual Basic Code Debugger?
To set breakpoints in Classic Visual Basic, open your code in the VB6 IDE, and click in the gray margin next to the line of code where you want to pause execution. A red dot will appear, indicating that a breakpoint has been set. You can also toggle breakpoints by selecting the line and pressing F9.
What are some common debugging features in Classic Visual Basic?
Classic Visual Basic offers several debugging features including breakpoints, stepping through code (Step Into, Step Over, Step Out), a watch window to monitor variable values, and an immediate window to execute code snippets and evaluate expressions during runtime.
How can I watch the value of variables during debugging in Classic Visual Basic?
In Classic Visual Basic, you can watch the value of variables by using the 'Watch' window. To add a variable to the Watch window, right-click on the variable in your code and select 'Add Watch'. This will allow you to monitor the variable's value as you step through your code.
