vb crashes, .frm file?

[brian goodwin]

I have a bunch of these at the bottom of an .frm file. Same object name is higher up in .frm file. What does this mean?


Begin EDGELOCATORLib.LineEdgeLocator c7_s21_test
Height = 840
Index = 2
Left = -30000
TabIndex = 84
Top = 0
Width = 3000
_Version = 65536
_ExtentX = 5292
_ExtentY = 1482
_StockProps = 0
ToolName = "6"
DisplayName = "c7_s21_test(2)"
DummyCounter = 122
IsDead = -1 'True
End

This stuff should all be at the top of the frm file and should not show in the IDE

The same object name is higher up in the frm file... Could this be crashing VB? can I just delete the text and save the file?

If you delete it the control will be gone from your form and may cause other problems as well.
It is not unusual to see a control with the same name on a form this is called a control array and each will have a different Index value.

In general you should not be opening the frm files in notepad or other editor which shows this stuff and you should not make any changes to it unless you totally understand what it is and what it does.

As for Vb crashing you would have to provide more info before anyone could be of much help.
Such as does it crash only when loading this form or does it crash on others as well?
When it crashes does it give you a message?
Does it crash when you try to load the project, run it or compile it?
Can you load, run, compile other projects on this system without issue?
What OS are you using?
Did it work before on this system?
